Ok, I run into so many different ideas. Some say water wash, others, say drain the glycerin, run it through a filter, and go. This is the first time I've heard about what he just said, but as good an idea as it seems, it takes a lot of heat to run a still to recover the methanol. Short of building a fire under it every time, I just don't see that happening. What about the people that say a little methanol left in the fuel acts as a "booster" and won't hurt anything, but I do know that too much octane in a diesel will blow a piston quickly. Theres too much stuff out there with conflicting opinions. Everybody has a different way that they say is "best". I just don't know what to believe.

Also, FAB, you said don't get me started on titration, did you do this at one time, figure out that the formula is usually the same, and stick to it, or did you just try till you got it right?
