Denatured means adding methanol to ethanol (10% I think) thus rendering it
undrinkable. I don't know if it is anhydrous. But if not sealed tightly it
becomes hydrous quickly (EtOH being very hygroscopic as is Sodium
Hydroxide).Denatured alcohol would be okay to use because it is both kinds of
alcohol, but you will have to account for the less EtOH in the mixture when
using the ethyl esther formula. It will produce both methyl and ethyl esthers.

denatured. is that 200 proof, and does the denaturing agent affect biodiesel
production?

Cost, cost, cost. I pay $3.00 a gallon for methanol in small
quantities,
others are paying much less. I can't even make my own anhydrous
ethanol for less than $10 a gallon, and buying it from a commercial
producer puts you over $50 a gallon with all the tax.

That's odd. Where do you live? I can buy denatured ethanol at my
local hardware store for about $7 a gallon (?) I think (I'm trying to
remember the exact price). There is no liquor tax on denatured
ethanol, since you can't drink it.
