I process in Kodiak, Alaska and would like to set up a methanol recovery still, but have no running water in our shop. Has anyone used a fan and a car...
I do... I pulled the AC condeser out of my jeep a few years back. I had to adapt some fittings to it but it works quite well. I mounted a 10 radial fan to it...
