Default RE: My Fuel blamed for Rust

I have only started reading about making your own fuel, so i really dont know what im talking about yet, but i have read that some sources of nitromethane are less than pure. Apparently one of the byproducts of the distillation that can end up in the Nitro is nitric acid, which (if this is in fact the case) will cause some severe rust and corrosion regardless of any after run oil, or castor content in the fuel. Are you confident in your source for the nitromethane?
