Methanol injection

While meth does catch fire, it would need an actual ignition source. Even if you poured 50/50 mix on a hot header, or manifold, it'snot going to catch fire.

However, it would would a spark, but so would brake fluid, power steering fluid, or engine oil, believe it or not.

That's probably how Ford justified their tank location.
On the corvette forum a guy took measurements of his header temps
900F at idle, 1300 under load... Autoignition is at 999F for methane so it definitely could catch fire if poured on the header of a car being driven hard. Which is probably would have been if you just rear ended someone.

Quick stats...
