How can I sell ethanol that I have made?

Question

I want to build my own production still, and I want to know how to sell the fuel in large amounts.

Answer 1

The best thing is to make sure that you are ready to sell. Also you must contact the Department of Transportation and US Department of Engergy.

HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL

Answer 2

You'll have to check with local zoning to see if you can do it on your property.
There are also laws which state you must make fuel ethenol unacceptable for consumption so people don't start drinking the fuel there are a few worthy chemicals which does this without affecting the fuel its what they do to make denatured alcohol.
You should first find a buyer willing to buy the amounts you produce. Also remember it takes a lot of heat energy to make ethanol as well as alot of mash (the corn or other fermentable product) which you will have to find a way of responsibly disposing.
You'll also probably have permits to deal with according to exactly how much you will be producing

Answer 3

Buy a gas station that folded up. It'll take a fair amount of startup capital to get it legal, but I'd be happy to convert.

Make sure you get a mechanic who can re-jet old carburettors and reprogram fuel injecion systems for your repair bays.

Answer 4

Sell it to a gas station or sell it to neighbors.

Look their car up, see if it can take ethanol and sell it to them.


But be careful, if there's water in the ethanol, you can't mix it with gasoline.

Answer 5

You need to beaf up the suspension in the back of an old Cadillac so the revenuers can't tell it's full of product and deliver it to a network of people who will deliver it to the consumers. Insist on COD.

Answer 6

If you have to ask that here then you do not have what it takes to set up a large manufacturing and distribution operation.

Answer 7

There are a number of restrictions set by the ATF.... you might want to check out their website. (Look under spirits)
