Q: I love your videos and the things you create with your stills. I just received my TTB permit and now I’m trying to determine which still to buy. Obviously the permit is for fuel and every now and then you talk about putting your product in your car. Do you mix your ethanol with something when you put it in your car? What type of car do you have and what are some things you do with your product? Do you sell any? I guess you sell your essential oils? Did you do any modifications to your car?

A: Before you put it in your car or store it you must mix with a small amount of gasoline so that people do not drink it. You can get a car converter for 100% but all cars already take 50%. You buy the converter, I bought mine, through Alcohol can be as gas website. It took me two months to get mine in the mail and I had a mechanic work for me who put it in. I also did an ethanol bike, its on youtube. I do not sell alcohol fuel, but I sell the still and show you how to make your own. I would love to see your journey. Can you video or photograph what you do, to help others, that would be so great..Thanks for your questions. A great beginners still would beMoonshine Still 2-inch w/ 15-gallon Electric and you order it online.

Alcohol fuel can also light ethanol stoves and ceramic heaters. I did this during a 10 day power outtage and I blogged about it. This is good when you have no power. It burns a blue flame, clean fuel.

Effusion lamp candles can be burnt with alcohol and oils together. Also you can make fuel for your car- calledEthanol. Ethanol is straight alcohol that can denatured with a little gasoline (to prevent people from drinking). Alcohol stove cooking fuel you can make- for backpack stoves- that burn clean. See my video blog how I cooked during a 6 day power outage here in Yelm.

You need to get a TTB.gov permit for alcohol fuel, it is free and you can start the application today. You can learn to distill this way and put it into your car.
