Did anyone see Fox Sunday night? Make your own fuel with water, sugar and yeast.

it's all fun and games until the feds knock down your door for not paying the fuel taxes..

and if you want to know how to make some cheap ethanol, just head to the hills of Kentucky and befriend a moonshiner. they've been making the stuff for a couple of hundred years now.

My college proffessor got busted in the late eighties for making his own alcohol fuel. He had one of those little 4 cyl. challengers with over 180k on it . It ran every mile on his fuel he made in his yard out of garbage! They fined him and took his homemade still. Big Brother is always watching!

Yes, you do have to get permits to do this, and I'm sure they check you out. I just wondering how it works, and what the real cost per gallon is. I'm sure it more than a dollar a gallon.

The last time I heard, I think it costs in the neighborhood of $2.25 a gallon to make fuel grade ethanol yourself. And yes, a moonshine still with the ingredients slightly modified will produce ethanol...or so I've been told

A couple of years ago the local news channel told a story of a man in Burley, Id. of collecting cooking oils and making and using bio-diesel for his MB diesel car, well about two-three weeks later here come da feds, they were wanting their money for road and fuel tax, he said in the Boise paper later that he wished that it never made the news.

if you are gonna make your own ethanol for fuel, don't go bragging about it. just make it and use it, and no one has to know that you are weaseling out of your share of fuel taxes.
