Joe,
      In US (elsewhere?) ethanol must be rendered unfit for consumption.
 For example: Add 2 gal of unleaded gasoline to 100 gal of ethanol.
Gasoline may make the ethanol unfit for making biodiesel.
It could be denatured with methanol which would be good for making 
biodiesel, but not so good for use in cars.
     The question is: Will there be enough demand for fuel grade ethanol 
denatured with methanol?
                                                Tom
