I got this from our resident physicist and weather guru:

From NHTSA on methanol in fuels:

"Methanol will attack and corrode certain metals, such as magnesium and
aluminum. Additionally, the corrosion products of aluminum and methanol
will precipitate out of the liquid fuel and clog filters and fuel
injectors. For this reason, it is recommended that metals such as
stainless steel and carbon steel be used in methanol fuel systems and
fuel delivery systems. Methanol will also attack many common
elastomeric materials, like rubber, polyurethane, and most plastics.
Elastomers with high fluorine content and Teflon have been proven to be
compatible with methanol."

.... Ethanol is probably safer.
