I am thinking about alcohol burner fuel and I found one cheap nail polish remover. Its composition says:
Mek (probably methyl ethyl ketone)
water
isopropyl alcohol
methoxyisopropanol
calcium chloride
Would this be safe for alcohol burner fuel?

Just buy a cheap bottle of denatured alcohol at the hardware store. Water in the ingredients seems counterproductive for a fuel.

The calcium chloride in the nail polish remover also is not good in a burner. It will not evaporate and over time the burner will get full of calcium
chloride residue. As rrkss states, buy plain denatured alcohol and use that.
