John, We (Neoteric Biofuels, http://biofuels.ca) also do singletank (as well as two-tank.) Our kit is cheaper than Elsbett's, and offers better filtration and easier install, with a self-regulating electric fuel heater that doesn't require the electronic complexity of the Elsbett system.

Re: [biofuel] Methanol supplies

Michael, Nothing you'll work with is an extreme chemical and there should be no problem acquiring the components. MeOH is a fuel. Bulk fuel distributors should easily be able to get you 20 liter pails or more. KOH can be procured in kg lots from soap making suppliers. NaOH should be available

I picked up a 55 gallon drum of methanol today. I told them that I would be using it to make biodiesel. The supplier asked me to sign a form that states that the methanol would be used for off-road purposes only or be subject to a road use tax. Has anyone run across this and how do you

I buy my methanol from a racing fuel supplier. They have not brought up the road use tax with me on methanol (I've placed a total of one order so far), but I am guessing that they would if I were to buy any of their fuels that can be used in street machines. I am sure that this is required
