I don't know if it's true but I've been
told that different companys use
different things to "denature" alcohol. I was told that they can use any
additive that makes the alcohol undrinkable and that one common addative is
kerosene. FWIW I usw A LOT of denatured alcohol for cleanning electronics
and the brand that I use does not seem to leave a resisdue. I've had no
problems using it. I can find the original can and get the brand name if
you like.
Kerosene can be used in "fuel alcohol", so can methanol. There is
a BATF document somewhere on their website that details what denaturants
can be used for each application. There is also SP alcohol which is
denatured using thymol to make it taste bad but not to be toxic (Listerine
mouthwash). Don't know the BATF formula number tho.......sq
