Methanol is used on a limited basis to fuel internal combustion engines, mainly by virtue of the fact that it is not nearly as flammable as gasoline.

From the article.
"A methanol flame is almost colorless. Care should be exercised around burning methanol to avoid burning oneself on the almost invisible fire."
And she was thinking of doing the blend herself. Not buying a methanol blend at the pump.
the methanol gets mixed with veggie oil and lye it never gets near a flame. But thanks for your concern
Well smartass, the details to the proceduer were posted at about the same time i made my post. Look at the time you posted and the time on my last post Dub-A$$. My response was based on the article blurb. Changing my oil is no danger to me, the mechanic is the one that needs to worry,,,lol
I drive a Ford, what else do you need to know??

making bio-diesel isnt a risk atall there really isnt any problem with it, i saw an epsoide of trucks and kelly made bio diesel with a kit you can by , and he didnt even use store bought oil he used old oil from a mcdonalds or something along that line, and it really isnt hard or dangerous, dont get me wrong things can still happen but thats true with anything you do , a llittle risk for gas thats 70$ a gallon or pay 3.20 at the pump , you choose

im also about to buy the bio diesel kit to make my own, since im no longer in iowa where i can get the 20% soy bio-diesel at the pump since my other ride the powerstroke only gets about 21 mpg this will make it far cheaper the the mystique to drive a lot more pratcle and most likely faster. as of yet i have not found the race fluid were im at but ill let you know when i do
