Processor ???

Can I use a galvanized tank for a processor. or will the galvanize react with the fuel or chemicals?

It is not a good idea to use galvanized materials. Methanol will attack copper, zinc and aluminum. The reaction is slow, but ongoing whenever there is contact.

Fittings can be stripped with hydrochloric acid, but an entire processor interior may get a bit pricey.
