I always had litres of radio controlled car fuel left over that was too old
to use. That was made from methanol and nitromethane with a bit of oil.
Seeing as you can't just pour it down the drain, I had the great idea of
burning it instead. "Hmm, why won't this stuff light goddamnit, light,
light, OWWWW S!&T it's already burning". The heat haze is another giveaway.
IIRC in some American car racing series they use (or used) methanol as a
fuel, pit-lane refuelling fires must have been fun!
