Methanol additive

I am running 100% Vp methanol. I want to reduce the corrosive properties so I want to add the lubricating additive. What is this additive and where can I buy it?

i heard that 100% meth was corrosive but i never heard of anyone running a additive to combat it? where do you add it to? how much do you add? and does it rob power?

I thought that Klotz was only needed on the older style pumps, you shouldn't need to add it if you have a newer kit.

Well after calling SMC they told me this.

The older style pumps need the Klotz but the newer style ones don't. They can withstand the effects of the methanol. But my over all concern was the effects with aluminum. But according to them it will only corrode aluminum if it is left soaking in it. But since we run a spray mist the alky will evaporate and therefore will not be exposed to a long period of time to the aluminum.
