an idea for methanol?
well i just thought man wouldnt it be cool if you could get methanol for free? then i thought well its just 97 ocatace fuel right? i think??? well why dont u make a E85 fuel maker? thats 102 ocatane. then you have fuel for your bioD and any gas cars/trucks/toys you have.
will this work?

and i dont have a E85 maker, but if it would work for bio id make one just so i can pay very little for corn and sugar for the fuel and not 4 bux for methanol.
just a thought

Once you get to 98 percent you have to pump it through a "moleculer-seive", normally "zeolite"
The production of ethanol is controlled by ATF and should not be pursued without Fed permits. That said, making ANY alcohol is dangerous, and can get you blown up! [ I seem to remember a great uncle in LA.

I was reading this and about to impose that Fab would set it all out there with the molecular filter, and he did. If only I could download a portion of your memoirs directly into my head. Hey Fab did I get it right with the light sensor?
