water methanol never seemed to be carried in Europe and in the UK
It's a long time ago, but I logged ten years and 6,000 hours with AirUK on the F27. IIRC we carried water-meth all the time, and if the old brain cells aren't totally dead, 15 gal per side. Two take-offs @ 6gal and one go-around @ 3gal.

I never liked the Fokker F27. Everything that possibly could break/fail did,
electrics and pneumatics were crap.
Disagree. Treat the old girl properly and she'd take you through anything.
