Hi Mike, Try buying 1 gallon of it somewhere like Brentag or Scientific Laboratory Supply @ 98%(guaranteed analysis. Remember my methanol price is around $2.00 a gallon when I buy 4 -55 gallon drums but 1 gallon is around $5. The backyard guy will go to Jail if he gets caught with a 55 gallon drum of Sulfuric Acid (depending on city fire and ordinance of course). You do bring up a great Idea though, Ricals may be able to purchase from his local water plant fellows in small quantities.
Buy the way what do water plants use Sulphuric acid for? I thought they used Hydrochloric acid? (my ignorance) Jim Mike McGinness wrote: >I must be in the wrong business.
