How to extract & separate alcohol from hand sanitizer for fuel

[@PapiDoesIt]

I discovered this by accident about 25 years ago when I got bored at work. I'm glad you are able to take advantage of the free fuel!

[@rebel9763]

Just the video I needed. Purchased 240 gallons at auction for 1 dollar. Now I know another good use for it. Thank You

[@antoniohillario9770]

It's been over a year since your video and there is no sand hanitizer anywhere near me. Apparently, it got depleted by the mad rush your video caused. Thanks a lot!

[@MidnightLight.]

solid, well-explained technique - thanks!

[@kcgunesq]

Actually, amazing. Don't know that I will ever have occasion to use this knowledge, but if nothing else, its an interesting experiment for the kids.

[@realitytx]

Thank you for posting and thanks for the comment about road salt. It is saving me money. Now if we can find a use for the glycerine, that would be even more fun.

[@fun_ghoul]

Right on. Might as well use the stuff, instead of landfilling (all the fuel burned to make) it!

[@milirodz]

Thanks! Very interesting and very well explained. By the way, paper towels are very absorbent, I think that if you divide it and use one ply over a funnel, will be much better.

[@jobird354]

Thanks for making this video. It's very helpful.

[@robertparker6286]

I love it, I'm glad I discovered you. I love your sense of humor too, and I never even caught that you said sand HannahTizer till you said that you did that. twice it got me. LOL.

[@FleaMarketSocialist]

Does the glycerine make the hand sanitizer's alcohol less prone to evaporation? If so would a large amount for this use be beneficial for storage?

[@laptech3767]

You can burn the used paper towel as well. No waste at all.

[@itsjackboyy]

Use it as a wank rag if ur brave eniugh

[@vvx897]

Great video! Thanks.❤

[@durtyd1487]

What do i do if the alcohol is still cloudy after mixing and/or filtering?

[@martiniafg]

Add more salt i think 😅

[@hollyeward]

Let sit overnight and the white cloudiness will fall to the bottom. Just pour off the clear the next day:)

[@Now_abandoned]

@@hollyewardThat allows time for a lot of alcohol to evaporate. It rapidly evaporates.

[@TalRohan]

very useful little process thankyou for sharing. I want to find one of those companies though 😁

[@brandisherman4777]

I absolutely love your accent

[@Willy_jackson9]

In an emergency could that be burned indoors for heat? Or carbon monoxide concerns?

[@michael-bell]

Burning alcohol indoors is 100% safe. Just make sure that it's not an airtight space. In other words, anything that has a flame must have oxygen to burn and consumes oxygen

[@otrtrucker205]

Love how he talks 👍

[@gianlucaventurini4274]

I've tried but it dont work. I add salt to the gel but i dont separate. I try to filter it but nothing. there is another method? I dont speak english so i can translate only if written. Thanks

[@Johonavich49]

Whats the names of those small aluminum containers?

[@vuaeco]

I think they are tea candles.

[@elvendragonhammer5433]

I don't know what the gunk is when your sanitizer burns down, but that isn't glycerin. Properly made Glycerin burns very well & cleanly, and is oil based, not water based, & burns without residue- especially if you add water to the mixture. The newest Diesel trucks & F1 cars use a mixture of it with their fuel & it's considered to be the perfect fuel for those engines, although it is preheated to around 200°F prior to being injected into the cylinders. It can also be burned as fuel just by itself. Formula-E (of the Afore-mentioned F1 Racing) partnered with Aquafuel to develop a glycerin only generator that they could tow when traveling from one venue to another & for off-road races they endorse. It's used in tons of other things too; a few chainsaws (mixed with the oil, just like you would usually do) as a lightweight grease in low power fan assemblies (only if they don't generate much heat). It is also about 49% of what's in "Vape fluid" with the remaining 49% being Polyethylene Glycol & the last 2% is Nicotine or other drugs & flavorings.

[@IWH777]

HOW LONG DID THE ONE WITH THE GEL IN IT BURN PLEASE??? ❣❣❣

[@samholborn]

You can mix crushed eggshell and vinegar i think, maybe forget the vinegar, its been a while since i made some,

[@nerog3136]

Great chemistry.Good work.

[@alexhemp4598]

Thank you for this video, amazing explanation

[@kenneth4992]

How free is it when you have yo buy salt and hand sanitizer?

[@vuaeco]

Here's your answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZeZiYyoosSDd9k

[@fun_ghoul]

If you need free salt, there's some in the bin in front of the Overbrook Community Centre. Shhh...

[@desmondjohnson183]

Get free at Community Ctr

[@fun_ghoul]

@@desmondjohnson183 Ha! I forgot they have sanitizer there, too.

[@shimasfaris2917]

You can get salt from the sea !

[@IceCreamCarla]

I love your voice!!

[@cpk001]

excelent, happy I found your video

[@queenslander954]

So how long & how much will it cost me for a 20 litre motorcycle tank ?

[@fun_ghoul]

If you get the sanny for free-ish? Just the cost of a bag of road/pool/whatever salt. Oh, and the motor after you blow it from a wee bit of glycerine going in the mix one time...

[@Shadmannnn]

U so sped I swear Ethanol is another name for ethyl alcohol.

[@Chesterfield.Esquire98]

@@ShadmannnnI’m sorry calling someone a sped with your name like you ain’t part of the fucking issue 😂😂😂

[@cecildoss3157]

Good video. However, if I'm using a plumbers stove (Open top container) I don't see the residue as a problem. You don't get a as effective flame with the plumbers stove.

[@Hocine13BMH]

Thenx bro

[@1acroyear1]

Well what do you do if you only have sand hanitizer? Okay seriously is there something you can put in alcohol so that you can see the flame when it burns?

[@mwint1982]

Your hand 🤣

[@fun_ghoul]

Diesel.

[@vuaeco]

@1acroyear1: You can put some Isopropyl alcohol in the mix. The flame will be yellow but you're gonna get soot on your pot.

[@qpalzmsk1986]

Just turn the sun off bro

[@skyarch3075]

Lol, just turn off the lights...

[@GarysBBQSupplies]

It will also santize sand. :) PS. Thanks for the tip.

[@jshaw4757]

Thanks you sir 🍻

[@travisdodge2370]

Where exactly is hand sanitizer free? Here in America we are still paying $2-$20 a container.

[@olpepaw4747]

I have a bunch of sanitizer gel(70 percent) I simply use a small can/container and burn it as is...burns plenty hot enough and very little "gunk" left over...no need to separate it

[@MidnightLight.]

correct, but if you wanted the fuel specifically for an alcohol stove (as some of us would) then you will want the residue removed

[@olpepaw4747]

@MidnightLight. the ingredients of the stuff I use are alchohol, glycerin, hydrogen peroxide and perfume...the residue is clear and actually smells good...wipes right up with a napkin

[@olpepaw4747]

But I'd never use in a stove (like my Trangia)...denatured or something like Heet...but its perfect to refill my M71 Swiss can stove and the like

[@RCAVDH]

Great idea

[@dianabenobo]

[@MAarshall]

[@lupillos7404]

[@gonzalez7805]

Nice

[@fun_ghoul]

You can't drink the alcohol anyway, so you might switch from sea salt to road salt, water softener salt, pool salt, etc. At that price, maybe you can start selling it...

[@vuaeco]

Road salt is a great idea! This can of sea salt cost me a whopping $3.79

[@fun_ghoul]

@@vuaeco It also just occurred to me that the glycerine snotballs might not need much more chemistry to turn into soap...

[@adama1294]

​@4umy after the pandemic the groceries were giving these out or insanely cheap.

[@markylon]

All Salt is the same thing, SODIUM CHLORIDE, just buy the cheapest Table Salt. ALL SALT IS THE SAME.

[@fun_ghoul]

@@markylon Sorry, I get what you're saying here: That peoples should _eat_ the cheapest salt rather than sea salt, right? OK, well...I still disagree. First off, sea salt is not just sodium chloride. There are trace elements also, which vary depending on locality, season, etc.; I'd concede they don't matter in the diets of most nutritionally. Even so, sea salt where I am (Ottawa) is plenty cheap compared to the stuff mined from uraniumland with heavy machinery. There's also an issue of sustainability.

[@vuaeco]

@NeoGhk: Craigslist, Facebook, curb alert, dumpster dive... It's everywhere! These things have expiration date so they can't sell it if it's expired. Though I don't know how it can expire? Alcohol evaporates?

[@fun_ghoul]

@@vuaeco The expire date is a) planned obsolescence to force sales, but also b) alcohol evaporates, as you said. Probably mostly the first one, tho.

[@fun_ghoul]

Look at the big spender, buying fancy store salt when you live beside the ocean! You're not the disciple of cheapness I once thought, Vu. Tsk tsk.

[@vuaeco]

LOL! Gas here is $6.79/gal. I figure it would be cheaper to spend $3.79 for a can of salt than a gallon of gas to drive to the ocean!
