IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE REGARDING
METHANOL
AEM
strongly
recommends that users never exceed a 50% methanol concentration
when using any AEM Water/Methanol system or component.
All AEM water/methanol injection systems and components (pump, lines, fittings, filter, flow
sensor, tank, and nozzles) are 100% chemically compatible with methanol. However, for
safety reasons we strongly recommend that users never use more than a 50% methanol
concentration in our systems.
Methanol is a toxic and highly flammable chemical. 100% methanol ignites easily and burns
vigorously with an almost undetectable flame. Methanol can be absorbed through the skin,
and even small amounts can cause blindness or even death. Using this fluid at high
pressures, without dilution, in an under-hood environment with nylon lines and push-to-
connect fittings is very unsafe. The performance advantages of using greater than 50%
methanol concentrations are small, if they exist at all. However, the safety issues are very
real and far outweigh any perceived benefit of running high concentrations of methanol.
Note: AEM holds no responsibility for any engine damage or personal injury that
results from the misuse of this product, including but not limited to injury or death
caused by the mishandling of methanol.
