I was trying to theorize on what using a 100% ethanol fuel would be
like. From MH's experience, it seems pretty obvious that 10% or even
25% ethanol has no ill effects and could actually run in unmodified
gas engine better than 100% gasoline.

Activated alumina or zeolite will remove the water. One source I know
of is companies like Kurt J. Lesker, Alcatel, Leybold and Pfeifer who
are a supplier for industries that use high vacuum. The material is
sold for foreline traps also known as a molecular sieve. The alumina

Hello all.
ethanol contains oxygen and will disturb the fuel/air ratio of the fuel.
Engines with carburettor have to be adjusted to the proper CO level, since
this value is the receipt of a proper combustion.
Injected engines with catalytic cleaning usually have a range for adding
more fuel to
In very round numbers, gasoline has about 20,000 BTU per pound, ethanol
12,000, methanol 10,000.
