Green Burn Project needs your help!


Green Burn Project needs your help!
The green burn project is a dedicated group of people trying to make non-petroleum based fuels available to the fire conclave for the night of the burn. lafc.org/green_burn.html

One of the fuels that we have selected to replace white gas, Ethyl Acetate, is particularly hard to find at industrial purity. At reagent purity, it's extremely cost prohibitive ($40/gal). We KNOW that, among other things, it's used as a replacement for acetone in some nail polish removers, so an industrial source must be out there. But we can't find it.

So, we need folks who have any connection to any chemical supplier to ask if Ethyl Acetate is available in economy sources.
