 The guy I am helping with TA/D has a oil deal with redline oil. He change oil every pass and throw 14 qt. away well was. I have been getting it for last cpl races. Very little if any alcohol in it. I have filtered it and wondering best way to insure zero alky. Have not seen any signs of alky even after  sitting a month and half. Have heard heating it and letting alky evaporate removes it. Have stuff to do,but wondering if other or better way. Only have 35 gallons so far.LOL

We have used a big pot on a hot plate.
No open flame.

Yea Iwas expecting alky on bottom but after sitting did not see ANY. Just wanting to insure as best possible. After all even atg 56 bucks a  gallon and costing nothing its not cheap if cause problems,Seriously doubt it will.

I use an old crock pot...cheap garage sale item. Get it up to 170 or so and the alky will bubble out. While it is HOT I run it thru a very fine screen into a clean container. Still flows slow but if it wasn't hot it would probably take a week!!!

When i did it, i bought an inexpensive Walmart soup pot, and a used hot plate (no flame).  i kept it about 150* until the fuel was gone.  Worked great.  Filter and pour back in while @ that temp, or like Steve says, it'll take forever lol
