For the moment you would have to buy it from a race fuel distributor, unless you made your own moonshine. You need it to make biodiesel so if you have someone making it in your area ask them where they get it. The best stuff is the chemically-pure grade used in laboratories but that costs major money. Racers will use the expensive stuff when they want to set a land speed record, though, because it has less water so more zing. My professor got his from the methanol institute and I think he said he got a bunch of drums many years ago when they stopped selling M85 at the pump. Methanol doesn't turn to varnish like gasoline so it is fine to use after decades, but it does absorb water.
