FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com I have heard of a little trick that might work, and it would be cheeper to boot. The idea was along the fact that water combines with lime and alcohol does not. I don't know if it will work, but, the idea behind it makes sense. Place the ethanol in a container like a 30 gal RubberMaid trash can. Add 1/4 bag Portland cement, mix well, let settle, after 24 hrs, mix it all back up, let settle again. Without disturbing the sedament, remove the alcohol to just above the lime. The lime in the can combines with the water and gets solid (clumping). After it sets up, it can be removed from the can, leaving unreacted lime to be mixed with the next batch of ethanol, with more added as nessasary. A simple micron filter to remove any last lime, from the alcohol would be all that was needed. Anyone have any thoughts on it? Greg H. ------------------------ Yahoo!
