Re: [biofuel] New here, have questions

You're missing one side of the equation - ethanol requires less air yet has a higher amount of oxygen in the molecule, gasoline contains very little oxygen without additives [see ethanol] Ethanol can tolerate higher compression, hence higher octane rating, hence more power, which increases it's

Re: [biofuel] New here, have questions

Sorry, We used alcohol in race track applications, and you don't double your HP output, and to further add more fuel to the debate, jet sizes had to be enlarged by up to 300%... we used to allow an average of twice the alcohol consumption as compared to petrol. Can anyone enlighten me as to

Re: [biofuel] New here, have questions

Walter, One thing I would be including in my calculations is the air/fuel ratio (A/F ratio) of ethanol. I don't know what the ideal ratio of ethanol is, but I believe it is a lot lower than Petrol/gas/motor spirit, which is 14.7 to 1. So if the A/F of ethanol is say 7 to 1, you would need twice

Re: [biofuel] New here, have questions

Keith, it looks as if you use 100% ethanol, jet sizes have to be increased by around 200%, but I reiterate, using Methanol in 2 stroke race applications, we had to increase jet sizes by 300% Again, is there anyone using 100% ethanol that can give us some real fuel consumption figures??? John I
