there are many failsafe devices available to detect flow of methanol, these can be used to trigger numerous devices , the best safety device is the driver of the car .
If your car is tuned to run at 11.5:1 AFR and you see that all of a sudden it goes lean - wether you are running methanol or not , you should be looking into things (and NOT boosting) - YES methanol is a fuel , and adding it will richen your AFR , just as adding gas would , the difference is you are adding a fuel with a way highter octane and latent heat of evaporation ( this means it will cool your combustion chamber) and in turn will cool your entire engine down.
The big hint here is every turbo car should have a wideband AFR meter
