OT: Uses for methanol w/ 20% nitromethane.

A tenant left behind almost a half a gallon of this fuel that is used for RC cars and trucks. He left under bad terms and I have no way to contact him. I need to get rid of this stuff and thought I may be able to put a very small amount in either of my two pre-catalytic converter cars to slowly get rid of it.

Both cars require premium fuel with one of them having mostly stock a 428 CJ engine. Does anyone know if this will have any potential to cause problems if I add to the gas tank at low concetrations (1/4 pint per tankful)? I don't know anyone that uses this kind of fuel.

I run it

I buy two gallons every spring to use in my nitro cars. I always have some left over, and it doesn't keep, so into the '62 it goes! Makes the exhaust smell funny but oddly enough does not stop ping.
