Default 100% methanol through Radix - corrosion?
I did a search and couldn't come up with any definative answers. Does 100% meth hurt the s/c rotors in any way?

Don't they make some alky/meth lube to mix in with 100% meth mixtures?

There has not been any hard proof that it will damage the rotors, or the housing. I know of a few guys that have run 50 gallons to date through their blower and so far so good. Just know that if there ends up being an issue, it could cost you for the repair. You can "tell" when meth or Nitrous has been run through a blower.

How can you tell when nitrous has been through the blower?

Nitrous is an Oxidizer.....Alum will show the proof each time.

They are teflon coated but the coating wears off over time.
