Hi Grumpy,
Thanks for the info. When I lived in Fiji a drum of ethylene glycol washed up on one of the remote islands. Half a dozen of the natives drank it and they all went blind. Awful stuff. Deejay would know about methanol too since he has RAAF experience and I now remember that Prop jet aircraft used it for a take off boost (at least they did back in the 70"s). Funny, thing the salesman did have shellite but only in large quantities but we didn't realise it was the same as naptha.
