Whatever epoxy will cop the heat, but coat it with Glyptal for alcohol fuel.

I use Z Spar epoxy on the larger areas where you need time to work with it and Blue Magic Quick Steel on small areas.

Quick Steel on small areas because it dries fast so it will harden up on you before you get it applied well on a large area.

Quick Steel is rated at 500 degrees and Z Spar is between 250-300 I believe.

When I apply Quick Steel I have a cap full of lacquer thinner handy, dip my finger in it, and use it to smooth it out. With the lacquer thinner it really goes on well.

For Z Spar I dip my finger in some water to smooth it out, which works well.

Any time you apply epoxy. making sure the surface is absolutely clean is key to it lasting long term,

With gloves on, clean rags, and a clean head, I wipe the area with lacquer thinner and automotive wax and grease remover then apply the epoxy.

I seal all my epoxy, no matter what the application is, with automotive urethane two part sealer applied with an acid brush or similar.

E85 does not even take the shine off the sealer, I am not sure about Methanol but I suspect the sealer will hold up.

I also used straight Quick Steel on an intake manifold running E85 with no sealer for over a year with no issues
