Sounds good Kurt but you need to take a liter of your hooch and treat it as virgin oil and see if any reaction happens with methoxide. Joe Kurt Nolte wrote: Right, so, I think I may be successful here! Have a batch that I mixed up a few days ago, using a modified for local materials

True, but since I only did a single liter test batch I only can safely pull off about .8L using my present methods. Would a retest of half a liter work? Or should I see how much more I can skim off the top of the bottom layer? -KurtOn 11/16/05, Joe Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Apparently around here you can buy methanol from the pump at the local race course -- the race cars use it for fuel. It's around $5/gallon or so I think. If you can find any race car people in your area, they may know where to get it. Zeke On 10/3/05, ReZn0r [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Bobby,
