I really can't stand it when someone says something like "methanol burns without a flame" especially on TV. When you google Methanol fire, the featured result will tell you the truth that is "It has the uncanny property of burning without smoke and without color. In daylight, a methanol fire is effectively invisible". In fact this is even not intiely true as one of the first results is a video that among other things shows that in the dark you can see a methanol fire with it's distinct blue colour, just not in the daylight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZEEuCHdWFA
