Actually, if the ethanol is to be used in continued manufacture
it does not have to be denatured. Problem is that there is a
sales transaction between a small guy who looks like a consumer
and a manufacturer, which looks a might suspicious to ATF.

Unfortunately, no amount of methanol added to ethanol will give a
so-called completely denatured alcohol, because there are various

Well here is a small amount of information that The Revenoor CO. can provide
for answers.
First, the cheapest and easiest way to get the proof that you need is to make
it yourself.
Second, the legal way to do this is with an Alcohol Producers Permit from ATF.

Yes. I have no intention of drinking it, only using it to make biodiesel.

Gasoline as a denaturant would ruin it for use in making biodiesel.
Not at all -- I've done it many times and run it successfully in my

Fuel-grade ethanol is 200 proof (actually 99.5% anhydrous)
grain-derived ethanol, denatured with 2% or

Hello,
I'm new to the group, and wanted to start off with a question -
does anyone know of a good source of reasonably priced ethanol for making
biodiesel? It doesn't need to be completely anhydrous (95% would be okay,
I can use dessicants to remove the rest of the water), but it can NOT
