@@Gigachadly I don't know how this shit was recommended to me, but it is so irritating reading these comments. They made alcohol. That's it. They aren't even moonshiners. Distilling isn't hard. They definitely didn't make gasoline. it is what's called biofuel. It's a blend of alcohol and diesel. That is why it wouldn't work when they tried it and they had to blend "a little" gas into it. Surprise. It wasn't a little. The fact that people fall for this dumb shit brings me to a closer understanding of how so much of our society is so fucking stupid.
But I guess I shouldn't be surprised by someone that doesn't know how to use punctuation. Go get your GED, and stop supporting this dumb shit.

@chrishayes5755 Do you not understand what “reality TV” really means? Scripted BS. You don’t have to pick one.
Say what you will, but these guys know what they are doing and take their time doing it. I respect the effort they put into this and making things work.
They have no idea what theyre doing. They dont even know the basics of how an engine works. They think they can just make 1 type of fuel for all cars. Lol...
Im not even gonna address the fact that running alcohol-based fuel in something like a SBC 350 would literally blow the block apart...
@@LaZarusXtnct That is entirely inaccurate. Ethanol has a lower chemical energy than gasoline, so there's actually a lessened chance of blowing things up. Some race cars use pure ethanol. The only issue for most vehicles running pure ethanol is the fact that it will corrode typical engine seals, such as those in the fuel system and intake manifold, and to a lesser degree, engine oil seals. These seals can be replaced with ethanol-resistant seals to remedy this issue, but the biggest problem that is the fact that cold starts are significantly more difficult (precisely because it contains less energy than gasoline), so I think the only way around this would be to utilize a glow plug of sorts, similar to what diesel engines use for cold starts.
@@jw11432 E-85 is actually more combustible than regular gasoline which is why higher performance cars use it as a daily fuel source and get better perfomance.
These guys are not making ethanol though. Theyre making an alcohol-based fuel. Ethanol is a corn-based fuel.
@@LaZarusXtnct "More combustible" - Nope. It has a higher octane, which is why race cars use it, because at the compression ratios they have, higher octanes are needed to prevent pre-detonation.
*"Theyre making an alcohol-based fuel. Ethanol is a corn-based fuel."* - In the video, they literally state that they're adding corn mash. It is absolutely ethanol, just distilled multiple times to yield a higher "proof" of alcohol.
@@jw11432 Youre literally just looking things up on google and repeating it to a mechanic. Stop using google as a source. It gets too many things wrong.
Here in Tennessee there was a shortage of sanitizer during the height of the pandemic, so moonshiners began making their own and donating it.
Lmao in Austria, our Schnaps makers did the same thing
Yeah up in wisconsin in the cans on construction sites the hand sanitizer smelt like tequila.
We have some called moonshiners sanitizer
Similar thing happened to my province in Canada. It looks like a bottle of vodka and they sell them at the liquor stores lol.
@Ghent Purdue Please inform me on how this pandemic was a scam by the Democratic Party. Or at least elaborate. Given that this was a global event, it seems rather far fetched to claim the “Democrats” came up with the “plandemic” and orchestrated it all.

These guys are what we need in society. Problem solvers!
You mean actors? Scripted bullshit to make money of dumb people that think this is a real situation? The fact that it says "Moonshiners" is all you need to know ATF would be all over these people and they definitely wouldn't broadcast it. If this was called "how to make biofuel" you would probably skip right past it. It's pretty common knowledge. Also, you realize that they couldn't get it to work, and had to add gas too it. That is because biofuel needs to be blended with gas to work. He said a little. But it was mostly diesel or it didn't run very long at all. We have problem solvers. They are called scientists. Engineers, doctors, chemists, etc. These are actors. Distilling isn't hard. Especially if you are just trying to get ethanol and it doesn't need to taste good. You can do it with some pots and plastic tubing. These aren't problem solvers. We have biofuel. And the biofuel you buy is going to be much better than what they made. There is literally no point to this video other than make dumb people think they can make actual gas out of booze. It even says "Make gasoline out of alcohol". No... all they did was make alcohol. That's it. And it isn't even gasoline. Passing high school chemistry would have let you smell the bullshit from a mile away.

That would still be cheap as hell here in Austria.
Crazy times
Fun fact, FLEX engines are designed to take up to E85, or 85% ethanol; although if you’re going to add more ethanol, you might want to consider that there’s already around 5-10% in regular E10 gasoline

It's pretty amazing that Moonshiners has documented alot of his journey into a master distiller over the years. When the show started he had good product but he was still strugglin
It's scripted, you know?
A hillbilly stereotype is dumb but they’re making gas out of moonshine “gasohol”
without billy society would be going down hill. hence why we call them hillbilly
They use a different formula but manage to get the same answer
Ethanol is used regularly in fuel in the Midwest. Goes hand in hand when you figure how much corn is grown here.
I feel like hanging with these guys and cooking would be a great time
Running it in his truck, as crazy as this sounds, would've been a good idea. Flexfuel vehicles have to unique ability of sensing the (approximate) octane level of your fuel. If the fuel is e85, it adjusts for it. If the fuel is e10 87 octane, it adjusts. Here's the important part, if fuel is out of spec, it throws a check engine light! Meaning, they'd know if their fuel is good.
they have no idea about octane, a sensor in the exhaust connected to an ECU, which determines how much fuel to add to the air that's coming in. there is a knock sensor also in the mix to adjust for pre ignition due to octane.
@@aeroflopper they have no idea about octane
There is a knock sensor also in the mix to adjust for pre ignition due to octane
I kid, I kid. I meant ethanol. My b.
@@aeroflopper I know, I messed up the original comment.
Unfortunately it would not have been a good idea for the truck because once you get over a certain amount of ethanol content the truck will switch over to limp mode because it will start to cause detonation inside of the engine. Why do you think race cars that run on pure ethanol have such crazy large fuel pumps, injectors and supporting mods? Because you need five times as much ethanol as gasoline to create the same amount of combustion. The point of ethanol is it is renewable not more efficient.
@@baltazard133T the moment the system detects the fuel being out of spec, it will throw a CEL. Shutting it down right then and there would let very little fuel into the engine. Also, modern engines pull timing for knock.
It technically isn't the best idea ever, but he was smart for wanting to try it in a modern flex fuel vehicle that would tell you what fuel it is detecting.

“Moonshiners have launched their first manned mission to the moon: Learn how they went from alcohol to the artificial creation of life”
Your basically making E85 just with more octane, only thing about alcohol is it eats your rubber seals and gaskets if your engine isn’t made for it
It also absorbs atmospheric water so it causes rust an corrosion and if left in a tank for more then a week will start to naturally dilute by absorbing water this is why you can’t run ethanol in 2 stroke motors
iammimic79 or you just rerun clean gas with cleaner
Um nope , I was running my 74 Mercury Montego MX on just alcohol and a good friend of mine thought the same thing I allowed him to take my engine apart and it was perfect he looked at all the valves the rubber rings everything and nothing was bad and in fact it was better than before , so no it will not hurt anything in the car.
@@Justthemow ethanol doest pull water that much methanol is a different story and yes 2 strokes can run on ethanol and methanol the carb just has to be jetted for it
@mpkunz6336 out of these your comment is correct. But try running stabil fuel treatment and it will run fine on regular e10 from the pump

Dude it's literally e85. You can get it at a gas station
Your missing the point on critical times what if it ain't no store
@@dantsy6397 what if the station is empty.
This shit fake that tractor is diesel .
I remember there being a small problem with runing to high amount of ethanol - cracking fuel hoses. The hoses have to be a bit stronger or you have to be prepared to change them a lot more often. Other than that hope it's cheaper burning ethanol than going for regular gasoline.
I love how intelligent and complex they try to make it sound like to make high quality, pure shine.
Its like, easier than making spaghetti bolognese
When Ford originally designed his first car he intended Farmers make their own fuel out of ethanol to run the vehicle. It's simple engine can run off of gasoline or ethanol fuels it didn't require calibration or anything it could simply eat any fuel you gave it. Now Ford cars have Ford Flex fuel... So Ford cars now have to have their computers specifically allow ethanol fuel else your car will reject it. It could totally run on ethanol fuel maybe not great but it could. Modern cars are literally built to be as unreliable as possible, because the oil industry was worried people would end up making all of their own fuel and Farmers would sell it to the people for cheap, instead of pulling it out of the ground and refining it and selling it for inflated rates.
So the oil industry helped lobby prohibition which disallowed the production and consumption of alcohol in the state. As you can imagine very high ethanol content fuel was also included on that. The Bill's purpose really was to justify getting rid of alcohol as a societal monster when in reality it was simply to ensure the Monopoly of fuel which we are under this day.
i learned something today
I always wondered what that meant when i seen flex fuel in green on the back of some cars
TIL
@@ZORGONICAL yea BS. Ethanol only has 80% the energy of gasoline and it takes more fuel to grow the corn than you get fuel out of it.

In case anyone is interested, you must richen up the mixture quite a bit to run ethanol. 30-40 percent more fuel depending on the brew. That’s all the flex fuel vehicles do differently, they are programmed to increase the fuel amount into the engine when the sensor sees more and more alcohol content in the fuel. Normal vehicles can run e85 as well, the oxygen sensors will compensate up to a point. Usually 25 percent. You will most likely get a check engine light if you run straight e85. But the vehicle might still run ok. Older vehicles and carburetor vehicles will need manual adjustment of the fuel mixtures. Also alcohol is corrosive and some vehicles tolerate this better than others.
Alot of good information here
Make sure to have a fuel pump And fuel lines capable of running éthanol or they will disintegrate
As an automotive technician that's been in the industry over 25 years I have to say that's not entirely true people put the e85 in gasoline cars and make it a mile or two down the road and then have to get towed to the shop and then because the o-rings and the rubber components in the system are designed for that level of alcohol content and deteriorates it and basically makes you feel pumped and you fuel injectors useless and leaky until the point that they become useless
@@yupcrazy...5465 it’s true, some cars handle it better than others. I burn all my old e85 from my race car in my old Chevy truck. Just pour a few gallons in at a time and it runs fine, never had a problem. Other cars computers can’t compensate quick enough. E85 won’t break down o rings as fast as you say. Over time they will deteriorate, yes. There is 10% ethanol in all gasoline now, cars would be having a lot more issues if it was that much of a problem. Carburetor vehicles are another story.
@@shannonsisk I dare you to go pump a half a take of e85 in ur modern vehicle ... Any more than 20% ethanol and a modern car will not run on it... actually you spoke of a race car so I'm going to assume you know about vehicles cars trucks and the industry here's something that you'll probably recognize when summer comes around they change the chemical structure of the fuel when winter comes around they change the chemical structure of the fuel they call it winter fuel and summer fuel this isn't taking into consideration elevation which has a lot to do with the fuel also but when they switch from Summer to Winter fuel and they put the two different fuels in the same holding tanks at the gas stations it creates excessive pockets of ethanol people suck it up into their cars and it causes their fuel pumps to go bad you don't have to believe me but ask any automotive technician and they'll tell you the most fuel pumps fail when summer time hits and the reason why is not because of the heat it is because of the ethanol content that they sucked up in their gas tank again you don't have to believe me but if you research it or go to school little bit in the automotive industry they'll teach you all about this stuff again I dare you to pump half a tank of e85 into your modern vehicle 2006 and newer and tell me that your car runs just fine on it I don't even care about the check engine light and then even after you get all that fuel out and you put quality gasoline back in it in 6 months come back here and tell me that your fuel system isn't leaking I have personally replace tens of thousands of dollars worth of fuel system components because of this exact issue at the Chevy dealership I work
more in the world need to make these gas alts makes me happy seeing old school methods kept alive
Man, I for a second I was like, I didn’t write this
Dude it's already a thing. It's called e85. It's been around for a stupid long time now
@@dantsy6397 thas a mix of gas an shine i ment full shine
I think gas is just cheaper. It's not that alcohol isn't a good fuel alternative, it's just more cost to it. There are people who distill plastics to get kerosene which means they can distill that into gas but it's not cost effective at all.
Modern machinery isn’t built to handle Ethanol fuels and the average person isn’t going to want to deal with the maintenance that is combusted ethanol

Myth busters actually proved that a car could run on moonshine alone
why did they bother? alky dragsters have been burning pure alcohol for years
@@ShinGouki86 They tested cars that were not meant to run on moonshine, regular road cars. alky dragsters as the name implies are meant to run on pure alcohol.
I saw that episode, and yes, the car "ran", but it didn't run well at ALL.
I think most anything will work, the nuance is in efficiency and engine wear.
From car's perspective it's like you just added very poor quality gas into it (ethanol gives less power on same volume). Would not suggest trying it tho unless the car was designed for it. Ethanol destroys the engine on long run without proper parts as it is highly corrosive.
I used to own a Farmall M tractor that was dual fuel. It was made during WWII when fuel shortages could interrupt farmers. There were two fuel tanks a small one gallon gasoline tank and then the main tank. These tractors would start on gasoline and warm up, then once warmed up they could be run on corn liquor, kerosene or as I believe any mixture of these and a few other fuels. Not sure of diesel or heating oil but possibly.
Beautiful grass and greenery.
Howm grown and organic is what big industry doesn’t want
we need to retaliate
That is the reason doing this is actually illegal AF. lol
I mean normal fuel production is already organic based itself. Just a concentration so high of organic compounds that it kills. Like moonshine if it’s dumped into the water and some fishies swim through it
Home grown and organic won't keep up with the demand though, they take more time because they have care compared to factory made where efficiency is the target to meet the quota.
Its simply because on a large scale you will face the lack of agricultural land to produce enough plants to distill alcohol leaving no space to grow other crops. Plate or gasoline?
Technically speaking, I'd imagine the creek shine would be alright to drink. Lol
The heat from the distillation process would have killed off the germs.
@@jonathantan2469 that and the distillation process would physically separate the germs from the product, unless they can evaporate and recondensate

Gasoline: $5/gal
Moonshine: $50 to $100/gal
Hillbilly: *puffs joint*
I mean he literally can't get gas, gotta drive somehow. This doesn't mean he does this often, the reality tv people probably told him to for content.
This dude has a business. he’s a licensed distiller in a control state, not really a hillbilly, they’re just doing the most for the cameras.
He’s got a profitable business and understands that exposure from this video will likely help his business’s bottom line. That’s without the money the discovery network is paying him to film.
Moonshine is 7 dollars a gallon from the producer.
Tax is $30/gallon.
And the story/brand you buy it from is taking the rest.
But yeah let's leave out the part where the government takes something like a 90% cut hence why denatured is so much cheaper. So reality is probably more like maybe .50c to 1$ gallon maybe if you bought everything, they're not so I'm sure that's why they're willing to destroy their engines just to do something so asinine.

Here in Brasil most of the cars are flexfuel. The ethanol is 100% pure, and the gasoline must have, at least 25% of ethanol in it.
When in ethanol the car consumes around 30% more fuel and gains more power, but it tends to corode some components, when not developt to do it.
Now can you reverse that and make Moonshine out of Gasoline?
Or just drink gasoline.
And then go blind drinking it.

It didnt work in the motorcycle at first because it needs to be rejetted for the proper air:fuel ratio. Stoich for e85 is like 8.5:1 while stoich for gas is 14.7:1, meaning it was running lean. You can mix ethanol fuel and gasoline and end up with a fuel with a stoich that will at least let it run without rejetting, or just rejet to the ethanol fuel.

This video show that there is all kind of people on this earth and each of us just evolve in our own different ways. Some are smart some work hard some never give up.
For the curious the situation was actually quite similar to the Toilet Paper Wars of 2020. The shortage was caused by panic buying after the pipeline shutdown - a lot of companies who either had their own tankers or ran tankers through other companies had plenty of stored gasoline to last through the shortage itself. To be fair this was a super resourceful idea and props to you.

@@EkzdeeLFT i would say the same thing about you my friend
@@jbflynn4134 Prohibition absolutely did not start for that reason and literally any history book or even a google search could've told you that one.
Damn.. Hawkeye really wasn’t the same after Endgame.
Hey. So this is what the Marvel guy who shoots arrows does in his spare time.
What a hero.
i live in a fairly rural area, during the shutdowns every gas station ran out of gas, my uncle mixed a bunch of vodka in with the gas we would've used for the mower and it worked fine in the truck, we were able to get to the city and stock up on stuff.
Those old Farmall tractors have done more work than the human mind can handle! Lol. They're still on most farms across the United States and they certainly don't need any stupid microchips or sensors. The only thing electric is needed for is the lights and starter!
I learned how to handle a manual transmission on an old Farmall H! And an A, and an old Farmall Cub. I can still drive damned near anything on the road, barring Semi tractors and heavy equipment, and I'm proud to be able to do so! I can't be the only person that learned to drive a stick that way, either.
It's saying something when farmers have to "hack" their modern tractors software to even fix them.
It’s gotta throw spark to the distributor too.
man seeing chuck play around on his high octane tractor made my day :D
Only at 0:36 and dude in the glasses got me in stitches
Damn when I need to fill up my 100 gallon tank I’ll come by and then I’ll be back in a few days with my truck and a buddy who also needs gas so you just start producing that like a proper oil refinery please and thank you should be perfectly sustainable
Works as long as you have cheap or free supplies. But once your magic gas ends up $8.00 a gallon might better drive over the state line with a steel drums
This wouldn't be happening if the sniffer wasn't in his outhouse.
In some parts of California gas is $8 + a gallon my buddy that lives there sent me some pics
@@carscritters6727 Where? Bay area? Malibu to Norcal coast to Del Mar its like high 5's tops
It already costs 2$ a liter in Norway for petrol....
@@AuRowe my buddy lives in Gorda California his car only runs on premium and it's 8.49 a gallon there right now
Makes me want to put a still in my backyard for my e85 car. The e85 price is $3.99 a gallon and 87 Oct is between $4.39 to $4.85 a gallon in Rocklin, CA (CA sales and other taxes are killing us).
Fuel is so damn cheap in the US.
4.85 for 1 US Gallon ? that's only 1.28 euro per liter !! average price where I live is way over 2.00 euro per liter for the cheap stuff.
Wow! Cali gas prices suck! Here in Wisconsin the price just dropped from $3.09 to $2.99 and I got excited. I can't even imagine paying $4 for a gallon of gas. I wanna say the gas I get is like E87 or something, It's only 10% ethanol. I probably shouldn't even run it in my vehicle, but I'm cheap and so was the truck so who cares
@@JPDijkstra JP California has Federal Excise tax (which all states have), state sales tax and special tax per gallon for road maintenance. We also have refineries that close down for maintenace so when demands goes up there is not enough production, so price of refined gas per gallon is higher. Yes in Europe you gas is extremely expensive.
I use to pay 1.80$ a gallon for e85 here in MN. It's almost 3.50 a gal now. Crazy jump.
That tractor woke up from a deep sleep after it had its first taste of moonshine
Shout out to VA
“We’re not making it to drink” like his integrity
We ain’t killin ourselves with this moonshine, this time we’re killing our vehicles.
In countries like Brazil we actually have cars moved by Alcohol/Ethanol based fuel.
Good to see you time take care buddy
