No need to steal it from a farmer if you know them well enough that they will give you some or sell you some..shits cheap when purchased legaly,like 50 cents to $1 a gallon ,depedning on how much is bought. It used to be 50 cents a gallon or less..lol..also if you have family members that have a farm or several farmers , they always get several tons of ammonium nitrate to fertilize each year or more, 10 tons of ammonium nitrate is what my relatives use each spring for fertilizing , and I have a great uncle in Nebraska where they inject anhydrous ammonia into the soil with a special farm implement and they have 500 gallon tanks all over their farm, totalling like 4,000+ gallons of anhydrous ammonia, and they get it so cheap, that it would be no big deal to get a few gallons or more, but thats a long way from Memphis,TN actually, and a hella long way to transport anhydrous ammonia !!
i agree with LSDMIKE on this one. NAOH + NH3S04 = NH3 + NAS04. so simply put get a glass bottle punch two holes in the lid, into one attach a large gauge syringe into the other have some polyethylene tubing coming out about 300mm. put ammonium sulphate fertillizer into the bottle itself. mix up some conc. naoh solution and suck that into your syringe. screw everything together tightly. now you need a second bottle with methanol to dissolve your ammonia. WEARING A RESPIRATOR!!!! slowly drip NAOH from the syringe onto the ammonium sulphate and this will create ammonia gas. once you are sure gas is exiting the end of the tube dip it into the methanol to the bottom and keep the thing bubbling by dripping more NAOH onto your ammonium sulphate. once all is reacted you will be left with a solution of ammonia in methanol. or so my rabbit told me anyway.
