This is really two questions, but they share a common problem. Most, (all) of us here will be aware of the dangers from carbon monoxide when burning fuel in confined spaces and the toxicity risks from using methanol as a cheaper alternative to Meths.
But what does, make sure your tent is "well ventilated" actually mean? Does it mean doors wide open and the tent just providing a big windbreak, or does it just mean not zipping everything up tight when using a sewn in groundsheet. Or at what point in between.
Or, in terms of Methanol, what does "take reasonable precautions" actually mean.
Just not licking your fingers if you spill some on your hand, or does it mean wearing gloves when handling it. Or maybe only making sure you wash your hands after handling, if you manage to spill some.
i would find it useful to know what people think being sensible means in practice.
