Add Methanol To Fuel?

I have a 1990 R-1500, 5.7L and want to add alcohol to the fuel. Fuel with any concentration of ethanol is not available in my area so I want to use methanol. I can get 99.9 % pure methanol for free from where I work. The problem that I have is that I do not have a manual so I do know what the max concentration is for MeOH. I assume that it is 3% by volume. I also plan to add some lucas fuel treatment at the same time.

Check you owners manual, I'm pretty sure they say specifically not to use methanol.

Re: Add Methanol To Fuel?

As stated in my original post, I do not have a manual. I am pretty sure that the max is 5% Methanol but am not sure. I also think that I can run up to 10% Ethanol and 20% MTBE.
