Let me explain.
You are in dogfight al low speed...you are in bad combat situation...
and you need emergency power,
You must push the throtle over 100%.
Without Water methanol:
You get some power close to max revs and the engine get overheat maybe soon.

With water methanol you get more power, injected a
mixture of methanol and water into the cylinders to
cool the mix.
Cooling causes the air to become denser.
Increase horsepower safely, Lower air temperatures, and
Decrease cylinder temperatures.
Nobody can understand ?
In both situations the engines will overheat.
Without methanol water the engine get overheat more quickly.
I'll go find manuals P 51 H .
But with the injection of wather methanol (MW50) , the overheat takes longer time, you can run saflely 10 minutes, in any condition, that's what says the Luftwaffe.
In 4.11 you can get engine on fire with 10 minutes of MW 50 ON.
