Distillation Danger - YouTube Video

Postby audistiller » Fri Nov 23, 2012 9:41 pm

During my recent 2 day binge on YouTube watching heaps of distilling videos, I came across this one and thought it would be a good idea to share it. I don't think the point can be stressed enough especially for the new people getting into this hobby. Getting complacent is something we all do at some point, but the reality is anything could happen when you least expect it.

Couple of points:

1. If I am filling my car is Brazil I will be taking in more than the car :laughing-rolling:

2. Obviously the fuck heads that blew themselves up were idiots. From a quick guess, had a fuck up on the cooling side or a massive leak somewhere. :violence-smack:

As i understand it Methanol is a poison you don't want to drink that stuff. Ethanol is what we are after
