I have a buddy thats starting to make his own diesel according to the specs he got off that site........he has a small water heater converted to do this...........only thing is i wonder how the village will react to it all when they find out he has pure methanol stored in his garage!!! He got 2 gallong delivered to his house the other day......he commented that he's wondering when the Fed's will be knocking on his dorr asking WTF he's doing with it! :D

I don't know where your buying it but even after the recent tax incentives it's still about $.35 a gallon more expensive than regular diesel here.
