Ordinary meths is ethanol with 10% methanol and a bitter compound added but I suspect the ethanol is 70% alcohol and 30% water. As such if you add it to petrol the water settles out at the bottom so would make matters worse, Anhydrous methanol is pure CH3OH is made from methane (natural gas) and mixes with petrol and absorbs water

I did the experiment, water still there, a layer of dye and it didn't work. A lesson learnt - just put the fuel in a clear container and pour off all the fuel and bin the water at the bottom of the container!

Another blower with a load of dodgy fuel...now fixed!
