But it sounds like the guy just added to have it on there if he didn't give you any special instructions on the fuel needs of the car or how extreme or safe the tune is.
You might want to call and ask if it's safe without it, or if it has to run to keep the car alive on whatever tuning ( if any ) was performed on the car after it was added.
I just put a devilsown kit on my car and the "blue juice" is a deal at 1-2 bucks a gallon, and as i said before, you can't go wrong using it.
U;timately i will mix my own or just order a case at a time from devilsown, but i'll probably jsut mix it if i can find pure methanol for a good price near here.

Glenn,I would agree with you but I can say from personel experience that the WW fluid is not a good choice. After running it in my car for a year I took the nozzles out and found the little screens clogged and coated with blue dye. In fact everything that the fluid ran through was coated. I had to take everything apart and clean it. I have since switched to the denatured alcohol and distilled wated in a 50/50 mix.
