Question about running alcohol for emissions tests
Ok I did a few searches on this and didnt get much response. I found one post taht says its kills all the rubber lines it goes through while another said its not good to run in a T2, which I have. What is the concensus? Im going to try and pass with an airpump onto the cat and a leaned out mixture through the SAFC first but if I dont pass I may resort to alcohol, is this a bad idea?

Yep, ethanol and particularly methanol are bad for a fuel system. However, just dump in the alcohol on a near empty tank and immediately drive to your emissions station. Immediately afterwards fill her up to dilute the alcohol and you'll be ok.
