Meth Usage

rader1 · 04-15-2012, 10:44 PM

Hey guys, i was wondering how long you guys can run between having to fill up the meth tank. I know know different tanks/nozzles/pumps play a big role in this, but i'm just trying to get a gist on how quickly the average N54 user goes through meth so i can stock while i'm somewhere it's readily available.
Thanks for any input.

P.S.- several searches revealed nothing but pages and pages of threads where people mention the word meth, not much useful info.

i can go for a while like 1 month ++ but I do a lot of freeway driving so would be barely spraying.

Bme30 · 04-15-2012, 10:49 PM

I fill up about once or so a month, but I don't use meth all the time.

Thanks for the responses

I use about one gallon every 2 to 3 weeks.

About a month but you can kill it in a day if you are relentless.

I usually refill my tank (3/4 gal) once a week. If I drag race, I'll use over half the tank up that night and I drag race at least every other week. I'd say I go through a 5 gallon pale of meth every 2 months, sometimes quicker. I use ~80/20 mix.

I am probably an extreme case though.

Thanks guys, i guess i'll be stocking up on some meth while im at the shop. A 4 gallon fuel cell will definitely help but i'm going to talk with my tuner about running denatured alcohol should the need arise.

I am usually 3-4 weeks but if I am testing or having some fun I can go through a 1.5G tank in a day.

1-2 days 2.5 gallons when i use it.

bigdnno98 · 04-16-2012, 12:59 PM

It's all about your right foot. I've used a WW tank of methanol in two days. Usually lasts two weeks for me though.

drfrink24 · 04-16-2012, 01:02 PM

I haven't filled it since maybe September? I maybe dip into it for 3 or 4 seconds once or twice a week.

floor it constantly for an hour straight? lol

Mine usually lasts a little over a month, I'm not light on the gas pedal either, using WW tank.

hemi to e90 · 04-16-2012, 01:13 PM

my old b7 was a 3 gallon setup and a track day or a run through the mountains would kill it in less than a day.
