excellent example - water makes the organic plant extracts seperate out from the ethanol and forms the milky colloid

TedB(evom guru) has a company that makes absinthe - maybe he can chime in

A local chemical company sold me 10 gallons plus a 15 gallon tank for $25, thats $1/gallon. I did have to purchase a pump to get it out of the tank. I'm not sure if they still have it at that price, but the meth is clear and not milky at all. Just go to yahoo, search local and type in chemical and start calling around. I guarantee you'll get it cheaper than at a race shop. You don't need the 99.99% pure **** anyway, especially since once you open the cap its so hydroscopic that it looses its purity anyway, and your motor won't know the difference between 99% and 98%.

I was trying to figure out how to test to see if its contaminated, but I couldn't figure out a way (maybe a boyancy test?). I diluted it with 3 gallons of distilled water to yield 13gallons of 75% meth to 25% water. BTW, its still flammable at that concentration... i checked...

I pick up a can of m1 everytime I go up to ics, but not too many places close by sell meth. It would be about an hour trip just to go get methanol which really wouldn't be worth it, so I just stick to the denatured alcohol. expensive but it works! IMHO I feel my car runs better with the alcohol than meth.
