Well, I am no expert and you could be right, but here is what I heard about it.

Ethanol in pure form is corrosive, and cannot be transported in a pipeline for that reason. When we had that price spike around the Chicago area back in 2000. They claimed it was because they could not reformulate the new gas here in the midwest, but had to do the blending at the refinery.

Like I said, don't know if it is true, but my understanding is that blended ethanol is ok, but pure stuff is corrosive.

Mike, do yourself a favor, get a bottle of rubbing alcohol, (basically the same thing), and then find a piece of bare cast iron, pour the alcohol on the cast iron, and see what happens.

I think rubbing alcohol is either methyl or isopropyl alcohol- not the same thing.

That is about the most off the wall thing I ever heard, straight from the Big Oil Corporation I'm sure.

Not true.

You are confusing Methanol (wood alcohol mad from petrolium) with ethanol (made from grain starch).
