I was told to stay away from the E85 and such type fuels. That it will rot one's motor parts if not built for it.

Is this different with Methanol? Or is it how it is used and that it has its own delivery system?
If you're concerned about the corrosive nature of methanol in E85 blends, the corrosion as far as I understand it has more to do with the fuel delivery system....anywhere the fuel makes contact with metal and rubber parts. Methanol/water injection would be in contact only with the air intake system and I'm thinking corrosion would be a non-issue.

If still concerned, then I would recommend going with an ethanol/water injection, say about 90 proof, with a separate line plumbed to the cockpit for those occasional sips to keep us pointed in the right direction.
