In order to get a permit to distill fuel grade ethanol in the United
States it must be denatured. The recommended method is to add 2 gallons of
unleaded gasoline to 98 gallons of ethanol. The problem for the home brewer
is that water in the ethanol tends to fall out when gasoline is added. A
solution to water in the tank is to add "dry gas" (methanol).
My questions are:
-Would it be unwise to denature fuel grade ethanol with methanol
and then used in a Flex Fuel vehicle such as a '99 Ford Ranger? (3.0L Flex
Fuel version). The water issue would be eliminated.
-Any problems running a Flex Fuel vehicle on blends of ethanol,
gasoline, and methanol?
Thanks,
Tom
