I'm sure someone will be happy to take your money.
Don't bother.
You'll find it takes more energy to produce ethanol than you'll get back when you burn it.
Go ahead and do it!
Then let us know how much money you wasted on the experiment.

It's easy...it's called "moonshine". That's all ethanol is; moonshine. It's the same stuff that was (is) produced in the hills so the "Revinuers" wouldn't find out. It is then polluted with a percentage of gasoline to make it bad to drink. I belive the Foxfire books tell you how to make a still, but you better pay taxes on it or them dang Revinuers will get you.

These stills leave about 10% water in the fuel though, and to mix ethanol with gasoline it has to have less than 1% water.
Just run it straight if you can.
You may have to replace some seals and hoses in your engine.

Its not energy efficient to run a small distillation plant. If you wish information my I suggest "home distillers. org"
