Source of Methanol in Florida?

[jbernal]

Greetings. I used to make biodiesel about 10 years ago but stopped because I phased out my diesel stuff. Now I have a farm and it runs on a diesel economy. Unfortunately. I have several pieces of equipment that are basic clockwork diesels and can run pure bio, so considering the prices of retail diesel I am wanting to build a new reactor and get back into making my own fuel. Wondering if anyone else in Florida or south GA are making their own stuff and if you can recommend a good source of methanol? Thanks!

Not in your neck of the woods so I wouldn't know who to contact, but I'd reach out to your local bulk oil supplier and ask about a drum of windshield washer concentrate.

Can't you use Heet as methanol when brewing bio diesel?

There a raceway nearby? You ever consider waste motor oil instead?

Check with the local sprint car racers

Unless you just enjoy making biodiesel I’d look into a centrifuge and rum wmo.
