"both methanol ....kerosene.......and even petrol are obtained from fractional distillation of Petroleum......"
If dont know, dont pretend as expert, senior member...Let have a look on the following introduction about methanol
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, carbinol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH3OH. It is the simplest alcohol, and is a light, volatile, colourless, flammable, poisonous liquid with a distinctive odor that is somewhat milder and sweeter than ethanol (ethyl alcohol). At room temperature it is a polar liquid and is used as an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethyl alcohol. It is also used for producing biodiesel via transesterification reaction. Methanol is produced naturally in the anaerobic metabolism of many varieties of bacteria.
If I am wrong, welcome to correct me. But please make sure u know the truth. Advise u, so called as senior member, to study some information before you comment on other people.
