Reply With QuoteAs long as it says Methanol 100%....you should be good to go. Keep drums tightly sealed as methanol attracts water.
What is the Technical Grade of Alcohol That you guys are running for fuel ???
or basic grade/requirements .....we got Methanol here at work listed as this.....
Methanol60 100%
DOT I.D. > Methanol , 3 (6.1) UN 1230 PG II
IATA / IMDG I.D. > Methanol UN 1230
Is this good to use for fuel ???? :idea:
We also carry ....Isopropanol UN 1219 , PG II

Thanks Fiat48 ,
I was just told there were different " grades" of Methanol ???
I can purchase this fuel mentioned above "at Cost" since I am an employee or I can HAVE for FREE the Leftover Methanol that is not used on a job, It comes in 400 gal.Stainless Tote Tanks , there may be anywhere from 10 to 100 gal. in them after a job.....if this would work I can't see letting it go to wasteas we also have all these New Clean 55gal.drums in the warehouse too :idea:
Sounds Like A Easy Decision To Me Chris!
What type of work do you do that you use Methanol?
The guys in our Well Stimulation Dept, use methanol to be Pumped/Injected into Oil and Gas Wells as a treatment program that helps open up the formation ( gas or oil producing zones ) and clean them up, when they put the well back on line and start to produce again ,the methanol will not harm any of their delicate instrumentation or clog stuff up.
They also have some other Concentrated Very Expensive chemicals that they use Methanol to Dilute it down to a desired usable Viscosity.
We usually only keep about 200 gals. for the Lab to run tests with , But when we do a job they order in as much as 2000 gals+ or whatever they project the job will require Plus a little extra for a safety factor, the client pays for it and what is not used goes back to the Packaging plant ...say he orders 500gal. but only used 400, he still gets charged for the 500 , the 100 gals left over will go back regardless, that is where I step In :crossx:
I can't find anything as far as methanol60. The drum I have is simply labeled Methanol as has been all I have ever bought. As far as grades of methanol go, I have heard of a B grade which had slightly more water content. Generally all methanol has some water dilution as sold. I think 99.94% pure is the actual highest a chemistry place says it is.
Maybe you can ask the product supplier.
Methanol60 100%
It all comes out of the celanese plant in Bishop----even VP's-----buy it by the truck load or train car, and drum it them selves-----if you ever get some reagent grade ethanol, be sure and get an extra gallon or so-----and you too can get "well stimulated"--------lol
Use this stuff with your alky. This is a good price.

Bob, Is this also considered a top end lube? Would it replace Marvel Mystery oil for AV gas? We used to use oil of murbane for the t.e.(bean oil)...can't seem to find it now...Thanks Steve
