Basics

This page goes over the relevant distinctions between:
- Fuel Alcohol
- Food Grade Ethanol and similar Distilled Drinks
- Alcohols or co-produced products for use as chemicals

In most cases (short of jet/rocket engines where small variations in composition can have major consequences) this is the lowest concern variety
Composition/Contaminates are of little issue, outside of perhaps effecting Energy Density , and possibly creating unusual Pollutants (if chlorine or some metal is introduced somehow etc)
Water Content is the main issue

This is probably one of the most strict specification (along with medical use/aerospace fuel) due to the fact that if errors are made, major health issues such as Methanol Poisoning can occur
Also keeping things clean and sterile is important

Similar in process to Food Grade
Main difference is the desire for chemical purity
This can be done via post processing, mainly:
- More distillation (in a Cascade or in a batch system (see Double Distilled Water ) )
- Vacuum Distillation
- Molecular Sieve
