No 2 diesel is what we burn in the our
vehicles and machinery when it's above about -10 F. A mixture of
No 1
and No 2 down below that down to about -30 F.
In practice in Minnesota, your temps are about 10F to 20F too low.
Maybe we warm back up more during the day. But I have run No 2

Summers here are very hotand I was thinking of a summer time fuel only.
But to help thin the mixture out a little I was wondering if I could add
10 to 20 percent ethanol. I've heard of adding ethanol to biodiesel, but
not to dino diesel. Is it possible or wise?

From what I have read, a general rule of thumb is; up to 4 you would
be better off with scrubbers, anything bigger than 4 and scrubber will
tend to channel, from 4 up to 8 you would do well with packing like
pall rings and the like, from 10 and up you would do well to use
plates. However I

I have Micki's Book. The chapter on Methanol does not say how to make
methanol. It says that making methanol is a completely different
process and this book doen not tell you how to make methanol. It goes on
to say that methanol is made by heating wood ash, waste and stalks and

The other approach makes methanol from methane and steam.
This is the typical methanol synthesis method used today, with
the methane coming from natural gas. It could also use methane
from biomass digestion.
Both approaches need catalysts, but not the same catalysts.
