called Reagent Alcohol which is 95 % ethanol, 5% Methanol. which should
work fine for biodiesel. There are several different recipes for
denaturing alcohol depending on the intended use.

In this case they denature with wither unleaded gasoline or some product from
natural gas or a natural gas well (he said what it was but I quickly forgot).
It would depend on the denaturant. I get 55 gal drums of what is
called Reagent Alcohol which is 95 % ethanol, 5% Methanol. which should
for use in blending with gasoline. The presence of hydrocarbons
shouldn't interfere with biodiesel production in a chemical sense, but I
wouldn't want to work with the stuff due the the greatly, and I mean
greatly, increased flamablility of the mixture.

It's doable, but there are definitely issues -- the Journey to

has some information that should help:

They run a batch process and claim to output around 5 million gallons a year.
It spent my time with the Lab manager and we discussed some of the technologies
used and what he hopes will be used.
