[Vwdiesel] dyeing fuel

[Scott Kair]

Might be my faulty memory; I seem to recall some earlier batches coming out
with a red tint.  I'm still trying to locate a local source for small
amounts of methanol and trying to strain out residue from about a dozen
turkeys from my source oil.
BTW, our paint shop at work has a stirrer that hooks up to standard
compressed air lines.  It's got a regulator built in that governs the speed
of the agitator.  Runs about $300, though, but can be adjusted down to very
low rpm and can't generate sparks.
