the ethanol bulk buy is Ken Provost's project (listmember here as well as at the Burnveggies list...). It's an interesting one but be aware that ethanol is not super useful for complete beginners- ethanol is much harder to work predictably with than methanol. I was able to get 100% ethanol from one of my race fuel places by special order, in an expensive small quantity, and it is good for experimenting with, without having a drum of ethanol that I won't regularly use sitting around either... anyway the point being that small quantities of ethanol aren't all that hard to come by when you want to experiment, usually denatured,sometimes with methanol, which is useful in this situation.
the ethanol supplier that Ken Provost wanted to bulk-buy from is in your L.A. neck of the woods , though- they are a sort of recycler- they make fuel ethanol out of old distressed juice and out of date medicine and other industrial waste. Yeah! Ken (Ken Provost that is), do you wanna elaborate on that and give the name of the company (I've erased it)? It's certainly interesting stuff for any alcohol fuels spark-ignition engine people down there... mark At 10:33 AM 2/5/2003 -0800, you wrote: >Ken, >Anywhere in particular in CA? >How much Methanol are you looking for? >I'm in San Diego, I buy 5-35gal quantities from VP Racing fuels through >local performance shops.
