The pictures below are some screen snapshots from the "Continuous fuel ethanol distiller building manual" DVD.
Also you can see that there is a lot of thumbnails on the pages of the construction manual and by simple clicking on any of those thumbnails you will get a full size detailed photo of every single step of construction, most of photos are have the descriptions and sizes of details on them and you can print them out and use as a guide while your still building process.

Read about "Continuous fuel ethanol still"

Fuel ethanol still is continuous still that capable to produce continuously 90 - 95% industrial grade ethanol suitable for fuel use. The 3KW fuel ethanol still is small machine that produces 1.5L of fuel ethanol per hour, the machine can work automatically and can be attached to any size fermenting vessel or low spirit percentage source to produce high percentage fuel ethanol continuously. This still is in prototype state yet and maximum production speed is yet to be determined. The still was tested with 1.5KW heating element and 3kw heating element the production speed was increased twice with 3kw element application, the still shows very stable work with 3KW element, also planning to try 4KW heating element.
4.5kw fuel ethanol still
The 4.5kw fuel ethanol still is improved and final version of continuous fuel ethanol still, this still is capable to produce continuously 2L of fuel ethanol per hour at spirit strength of 95%.
the amount of spirit that can be produced by this still can be limited only by the amount of raw product supply, this
 means that this still can work 24/7 continuously producing fuel ethanol for your own needs, especially if you get access to low cost raw materials such us molasses and different kind of sugars or by-products of sugar production.
Unlike micro fueller that widely advertised and expensive plus uses some kind of expensive molecular membrane, and obviously can not be build by a simple bloke that needs to save money and not to spent them on expensive thing, the fuel ethanol still can be build by a hobbyist that familiar with tig welding and get an access to a local scrap metal yard and plumbing suppliers, and even buying a small tig welding machine to build the still will be many thousands dollars cheaper than to buy the fueller.
The still on photo and video on this page was built out of off cuts and stainless scrap of my business, I just wanted to see myself if I could do it without spending any extra money.
The plans and more information regarding this still construction are on the DATA DVD and contain a lot of pictures of still constructed in a simple garage environment with implementation of simple tools and methods, Plus the DVD is includes a detailed video of still handling and exploitation.

This still is really versatile, the detachable fractional column of the fuel still can be combined with the packed extension and used separately for fractional distillation of food grade ethanol, the main stripping column of this still in reality is a high speed continuous still that can work independently from the rest of the fuel still construction and can be used for continuous production of the raw spirit for further fractional distillation and purification with fractional still  and food grade ethanol production.
