In my pursuit of running my diesel truck for cheaper and subsequent rabbit hole of black diesel, I learned you can distill old motor oil (often obtained for free) into white gas, diesel and even gasoline. Im still studying the proper method of extraction for the various fuels to get the most out of a gallon, but its essentially just a difference in temperature. Hope that info can be useful to you!
When distilling its wise to take the jars you have collected and move them as far from the operation as possible just to be safe so if something happens you dont have extra fuel for the fire...
Wow thats super cool. Maybe use the nastolien to heatup water in a separate area and send the hot water through insulated pipes over to an insulated water jacketed chamber to heat up the white gasstill. Hahaha make it 1000 times more complicated. Maybe preheat the feed water from the hot side of the condensor with another copper heat exchanger. If you make it absurdly complicated you may not need the dont try this at home signs anymore. I have a whisperlite campstove that uses whitegas but they have different sized orifice jets so you can burn whitegas diesel or gasoline. The only downside with using those other fuels is your food and hands taste and smell like a toll booth. Distilling your own whitegass is truly impressive.
I believe you can just use water to separate the ethanol vs the IPA and if the last bit is all the additives have you tried additives it to your vehicles gas and just have more additives
thats just the best idea i've heard in a bit to use iso WITH food Colouring that grabs the ethonol and after distilling its so easy to see !!! Thanks !!! Great Video !!!%
Good to know.. I'm already educated in distilling.."water".. And I'd never try this in my "water" still.. but this would be real easy to set up and do if you use alot of Colman fuel
Im sure the most important part is removing all the modern additives. i wonder what the differences between 1980s and 2020s are. I know in winter they add a bunch of benzene to help with the low temperature and combustion. Ev
Gasoline is pretty explosive the white gas is a lot tamer. They add a bunch of stuff to make it easier to achieve ignition especially in the cold winter season
I guess it has never occurred to this gentleman that lithium lamps and solar rechargers are everywhere now, cheaper, brighter, safer. Using flammables for lighting sources is, well, absurd these days, to say nothing of the work, and time it takes to "make your own"...
Do you go over to the little old lady down the street and tell her she spends three months wasting her time knitting a sweater when she can go to Walmart and get one for $12.97?
@@cobre7717 False Analogy. Did you notice he speaks about "saving money"? He'd save a lot more money - and time - if he'd go lithium with a small solar charger. This is indisputable.

He doesn't want a shitty 5 dollar lithium aa battery powered plastic solar yard light that after getting exposed in the sun for a month falls apart. The whitegas lantern makes an insane amount of light. You would have to spend a lot of money to come close with a battery powered lantern and then it take a huge amount of energy to keep it on. I have an awesome little flashlight. It takes tiny little 2.4amp hour battery cells. Its so bright that it burns holes in my pocket if it gets accidentally gets turned on. I know that new led can be bright. But its not going to last all night, its super focused beam, its new high-tech circuit board. Its great for working on cars and stuff but it is by no means a vintage streetlight. As for saving money. A gallon of gasoline was under 3 dollars a few days ago when I filled up. but a gallon of white gas is over 20 at the camping store. Also the camping store that sells it is a mom n pop store about an hour away. All the big brand chain stores only sell the new compressed butane canisters. So not even included in the base price of the gas.... just trying to find the stuff is a drive 2 counties away.
My grandpa used to have a gizmo that looked like that but he wasn't making Coleman fuel!🤣
hmmm let me guess was it sometime between 1920 and 1933??? hmmm
@@brucekuda6711 why yes it was! And he must been a pretty good at it because his presence was wanted all over the county around Birmingham Alabama.🤣
white lighning it would probably still run your camp gear my uncle ran his motorbike on it and drank it

I used to think Coleman Fuel was the cheap version of Zippo lighter fuel... Now I know the real cheap version! Thanks!
Excellent information!
I had always wondered what the difference between the two was and this explains it so clearly, visual is best in my experience 👏👏👏
Thanks Bruce. This is something I'd like to do in the future. I've watched a few videos and I like your setup!
Now you can do this with a mash and get some spirit of 76
Yer making me thirsty 😂

Thank you Bruce - always informative
Cool stuff Bruce! Thanks!
Great video. I live in California and the politicians here love their power over Americans.
Suggest a tripod for filming.
What would happen if you distilled used motor oil?

To begin with, regular gas is white gas. We no longer have orange gas like the old days. In the 80's I was using pump gas in my Coleman stove

just use the gasoline...
