Osha has no classification for petroleum products, but it does classify items as Flammable or Combustible and ethanol falls neatly within it. All flammable substances must be stored in an approved container within a flammable cabinet for safety( the cabinet is designed to prevent air from entering and automatically closes in the event of a fire). The fire department uses these same guidelines.

What is the hazard symbol for methanol fuel?
a triangle with 3 circles in it layering over each other
How does Methanol work?
I am not aware of any direct way of producing methanol from methane. The only two ways I know that you can make methanol is by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen or by the pyrolysis of wood. Almost all the methanol made today is produced by the Syngas method. In it, methane is converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which are then formed into methanol. Researchers are working on a catalyst to directly convert methane to methanol, which is done by inserting one oxygen atom into a methane molecule, between the carbon atom and a hydrogen atom. Their biggest problem right now is the most efficient catalysts work at temperatures high enough to ignite methanol.
What compounds are found in methanol?
Methanol is an alcohol and consists of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen its formula is CH3OH
Is methanol a solid?
No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.
Is Methanol a nonelectrolyte?
Methanol is a nonelectrolyte because it is so weak it is not considered to be an electrolyte. Methanol is too weak to pass on electrons.
Usage of methanol?
Methanol is used as: biodiesel transesterification,fuel Cell Hydrogen Carrier,wastewater Denitrification and Transportation Fuel.
What are the uses of methanol?
Methanol is used- -in paint industry -In perfumery -In aviation Fuel (blending) -to produce formeldehyde -polymers
Is methanol a fuel?
Yes, it is an alternative fuel!!
How effective is methanol as a fuel?
its not do1
What are hydrocarbons used for?
fuel and to obtain other organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, carbon black, chloroform, formaldehyde.
Which fuel burns without blackening utensils?
Methanol
Does Methyl hydrate work like gas line antifreeze or is is the same product?
Methyl hydrate is commonly known as methyl alcohol, methanol, or wood alcohol. Its molecular formula is CH3OH. .for more information: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_hydrate .. Methyl hydrate or methanol is commonly used as a gas line antifreeze. Since methanol and water are completely miscible that is they will dissolve in each other completely, methanol lowers the freezing point of any water in the bottom of the engine fuel system. .. Also since methanol will dissolve in gasoline fuel, it keeps any water in the fuel in a dissolved state. In other words you won't have a ice blockage in your fule line, tank bottom, or fuel filter. .. Since many gasolines contain ethanol, they already have antifreeze protection. .. Methanol has been used as a racing fuel and as a gasoline fuel additive. It has the property of reducing engine knocking (raising the octane level).
Is methanol good fuel?
It makes your car go faster than average fuel :)
Can castor oil and methanol will run the RC car?
Yes it can ! The original fuel is a mixture from methanol castor and nitromethane.Nitromethane is only used to get a hot start and it give's you a little power on the top speed (high RPM)
Can meths or methanol be used for fire pois?
Meths (a.k.a methanol or methyl alcohol) can be used for fire poi. Ethanol is more common than methanol, and alcohols in general are commonly used in fire dancing with other chemicals to produce colored flames. Read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to using methanol (or any fuel). Inhaling vapors prior to and after combustion of fuels can be hazardous to your health. Fire Mecca's Safety page is a good source for some MSDSs, include one for methanol.
Methanol is sometimes suggested as an alternate fuel source How many kJ of heat energy are released when 1.42 kg of methanol are burned?
32200
Is methanol a fossil fuel?
No, and neither is ethanol.Methanol cannot be formed naturally, hence it isn't a fossil fuel.
