Never came out over distillation? Interesting. I did a fraction distillation and basically only kept what came over at 64.0-64.9 °C. Not much came
over under that, and when it rose above that I just stopped it and let the rest evaporate. Which is what was in the above pic.
What range did you keep?

Tbh I don't pay attention to the endpoint. I know Heet is pretty clean out of the bottle, so it's usually just a simple distillation: discard the
first 10 ml or so and leave 10-20 ml at the tail end because I'm paranoid about distillation to dryness.

That was interesting seeing the remaining residue/gunk in Heet after distillation. I wonder if the additive(s) is/are a corrosion inhibitor or
something to protect elastomers from degrading or both or yet some other additive purpose? Or simply a byproduct from the manufacturing process.
Other thoughts ...
Maybe oxygen is synergistic in some way with Heet even when highly diluted by adding it to a tank of gas in a car.
"Oxygen is more soluble in methanol than it is in water. Methanol can contain up to 40 mg/L of dissolved oxygen at 25°C." Fresh water right at 0 C
will hold 14.6mg/L and at 25 C 8.2mg/L.

heet is industrial grade methanol, it is supposed to leave zero residue after ignition in a gasoline or diesel engine. So there could be hydrocarbons
in it. Possibly as a lubricant. Maybe an emulsifier in case there is too much water in the tank.
