The graduated cylinder I referenced in the link (1000ml) is $9.70 plus a few bucks for shipping. They have no min. order. Try looking again. Also, Just pull the cast off empty fuel containers out of the trash can at the field, rinse them real good with some of your methanol, and you now have free 1 gal. fuel containers. You can also buy empty 1 gal. cans in the paint dept. of Home Despot or Lowe's pretty cheaply. You are making this way harder than it is.
