making fuel...

As far as I know your allowed to make 400gals per person per month? without paying Federal fuel tax, however most States want there fuel tax money reguardless. I'm unsure of the length of time on the gallons as it was 400gal in a year but now either in a month or quater year.

Arizona fuel tax is $.18gal paid in advance(this is really important), so for $180yr you can keep State revenue people off your butt if your using the fuel in a AZ registered vehicle(s). There is no use tax for off road fuel.

The BATF's only concern if you don't make the alcohol undrinkable by adding a small amount of gasoline to the alcohol. Once you make it undrinkable, then it's a fuel and a IRS tax problem. That's what my research said 20yrs ago when I checked it out. The net info NOW being posted on the fourms reads about the same.

Now if your selling it, you have a whole bunch of regulations to follow.

Make sure you lable "it" correct.

A fuel additive has very little restrictions where a fuel has all kinds of restrictions.

A fuel tank mounted on wheels is generaly not EPA or State regulated unless that trailer leaves personal property. A fuel tank fixed to the property has all kinds of regulations to follow.

A better name for Biodiesel is vegetable oil as vege oil has no restrictions. A better name for gas is alcohol.

G1: Can I produce beer, wine or spirits for my personal or family use without paying Federal excise tax and filing Federal paperwork?

Beer Production.
Removal of beer.

Wine Wine for personal or family use.

Spirits You cannot produce spirits for beverage purposes without paying taxes and without prior approval of paperwork to operate a distilled spirits plant. [See 26 U.S.C. 5601 & 5602 for some of the criminal penalties.] There are numerous requirements that must be met that make it impractical to produce spirits for personal or beverage use. Some of these requirements are paying special tax, filing an extensive application, filing a bond, providing adequate equipment to measure spirits, providing suitable tanks and pipelines, providing a separate building (other than a dwelling) and maintaining detailed records, and filing reports. All of these requirements are listed in 27 CFR Part 19.

Spirits may be produced for non-beverage purposes for fuel use only without payment of tax, but you also must file an application, receive TTB's approval, and follow requirements, such as construction, use, records and reports.
