It starts out as 200 Proof! Then depending if it going to be used for drinkin, they add water. If truck fuel, we'll take it straight and mix it 40% alcohol and 60% water.

I don't drink either. I think it can be legally sold as not for human consumption. You will have to check with the ATF and the state agency.

and if the ATF was to alow it to be used as fuel, it would have some special poison so u couldnt drink it, and then ur back to methanol

the water goes pretty fast. i hauled w/ it for the first time today. in 80 mi, it drank about 12 gallons. that was in the hills, and with a heavy and high load that caught the wind pretty bad. it had a small leak, so it may have only burned 10 gal.

so i guess the truck stops better have a hose

haha no, it was 100% water

and it definately makes a little more power too

it would hold 65 on the hills and if i threw off the switch, it would slow to 60 and down shift.

i havent had time to talk to the amishman up the road yet, so no 'shine in the pot...... yet
