Actually, it has been legal since the late 70s or early 80s for people to set up a still for fuel production. You need to get a
permit and keep records (and have procedures to prevent "diversion" to non-fuel uses). The permit process is done through the
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau . You don't pay taxes on fuel alcohol.
The Department of Energy has a page of resources;
