Dave made some good points there. You're right, a lot of people still store the methanol at home without taking full account of the risks or contacting their insurance company/fire brigade.

Also there is probably more risk while making biodiesel than storing the methanol. When you mix it with the catalyst it becomes a lot more toxic and the fumes are nasty and explosive, so take proper precautions.

At the end of the day it's up to you find out about the potiential dangers and do what you think is best. If you are "terrified" of storing methanol you might be best to avoid it altogether and just buy normal fuel from the pump.
