I believe the EPA rules are about SELLING un-approved fuels, not making and
using for personal use.

Cheers,

Jeff

At least it is only the tax man at this point. At the EPA federal level the
first fine is $2,750 for using un-approved fuels. Luckily, most emissions
and fuel related compliance issues are left to the states.

Also, if you  use auxilary fuel containers, there can be tax issues
traveling between states.
