I'd be wary of using any of the "fuel additive" chemicals, they have a nasty habit of adding in things to prevent it from being used as anything BUT a fuel additive. I would stick to PGA [everclear] before trying methyl alcohol, at least you know it is very clean....readily available too. Biggest problem with alcohol extraction is the time required to evaporate off the liquid portion. Normally you would use mild heat, but even low heat will ruin your potency. Vacuum dessication would be ideal, drop the pressure enough and alcohol will boil off at room temp.

a vaccume bell would work well for that, I was wondering about Naptha, or Zippo lighter fluid, I've heard it's used in extraction but i've also seen some warnings about it...
Any ideas?

It just might work. Coleman fuel is pure naptha, better than zippo.

extracts are fun. I was looking over this, my first post, and thought i'd update you people so eagerly waiting my findings 
Ethanol and Methanol were the only extracts i felt comfortable going ahead with human testing on. These proved to be somewhat weaker, but overall a good experiment. check out erowid for more extract info.
ps-never tried the butane tube thing, but sounds interesting. anyone else try it?

denatured alcohol is 99% ethyl alcohol you can get it at walmart.
"denatured" means that something was added to to the alcohol to make it toxic to drink. that something often is methanol which shouldnt be a problem since you were wanting to use it anyway.
Methanol as a Denaturant
Denatured alcohol that is intended for use as a fuel or solvent typically contains 5% or more methanol. Another term for this type of denatured alcohol is "methylated spirits." Methanol is flammable and has a boiling point close to that of ethanol. Methanol is absorbed across the skin and is highly toxic, so it is not recommended to use denatured alcohol for making perfume or bath products unless you know the denaturant is not methanol.

Denatured alcohol is a mix of ethanol and methanol. Since methanol is significantly cheaper than ethanol most denatured alcohol is 49% methanol.

I find the whole "my drug should be legal but yours should be illegal" mindset disgusting and hypocritical. It's what George Bush and company do when they drink a cocktail and debate the best way to imprison marijuana users. -Diploid
