methyl hydrate/gas mix for etest

howdy guys,

i am hoping to get my car etested tomorrow cause i have the day off (if not tomorrow, then tuesday) and i really dont think my car has a hope in hell of passing the the test, even as a "hot rod" (the car is tested against 1980 standards instead of its model year standards, 1984 in this case), but i am gonna try to squeak it by anyway. i going to dump some methyl hydrate into the tank, but i am not sure how much to add. the tank is 60L and 4L (slightly more than 1 american gallon) jugs of methyl hydrate are readily available to me. should i throw 1 jugs in? 2 jugs? 1/2 a jug? anybody have any idea on how much i should add? because i sure dont. any suggestions are welcome. someone also told me to put the methyl hydrate in a spray bottle and spray it into the tail pipes just before the test? any thoughts on this? i plan on doing this as well, as it cant hurt.

specs on the car:

84 TA

350, 700r4, 461 heads, qjet, vac ad. distributor, headers, true dual exhaust, no emissions stuff except pcv


thanks for the help guys.
