Mw50 was stored in a seperate tank. Water/Methanol was mixed at a 1:1 ratio but the methanol was just an "anti-freeze" and it kept the water from freezing at altitude.

GM1 was nitros oxide and was only used at high altitude (above 5500m)

GM1 was not standard on the a8 or any other aircraft that I know.
