im actually not going to do this. Im just going to do a water extraction of prestone premium starting fluid. the solubility of ether in water is about 9.6ml/100ml diH2O. I can buy 6, roughly 300ml cans for $20 US. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B99U3X0/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=automotive
the ether to heptane ratio is about 50:50. When you do the actual oz to ml conversion this extraction will yield approx. 887.2 ml of diethyl ether, and 887.2ml of heptane. its a win win. To get the ether out of the water ill just load in NaCl which should work better than NaCO3 and put it in the freezer. bam. ether.
so thats approx. 10.50 US for 800ml. For reference, 500ml is $35.00!

and... heptane, $66.00

it wouldnt be reagent grade, and i dont need reagent grade, but, it's probably not that dangerous to make more pure if you wanted to.
cheers
edit: heres the msds: http://www.msdshazcom.com/COMMON/wcd00036/wcd036df.htm
it says the composition is 70% heptane and 60% ether so... idk what that means exactly..
