With respect Keith, but if I'm not wrong, the boiling point of 96% is higher
than that of pure ethanol. At that percentage the
So, can you just burn 192 proof ethanol in an engine? I can't see any
fundamental problem, other than a little decrease in burning
temperature from having an additional 4% non-combustible stuff in
there. But we are already using air that has ~80% non-combustible
nitrogen in it...

Where can I buy a still that can produce fuel grade ethanol (190 proof)?
I have read that the charles 803 is a poor still and I have no
access to anyone knowledgable enough to build a good enough still
without accurate plans. I could possibly pay someone to build one
if I knew exactly what to

It does work, sort of, but it doesn't do what its promoters claim for
it. They claim 5-7 gallons per hour of 180-190-proof ethanol, but
it'll only do about 3 gallons per
Hello everybody,
If my knowledge of ethanol-water fractionation data serves me correctly, you cannot get 190proof alcohol by fractional distillation of alcohol-water mixture.Onlyup to170-180 proof which could be used for E85 cars. To get 100% alcohol try extraction with castor oil of fermented

Hello Keith and all,
My earlier posting that 190 proof is not possible is not correct. I am sorry about this but the cost of fractional distillation will be relatively high as a lot of stages are required. I checked out toluene also. It is not listed as azeotrope forming and it scrambles the
Hello everybody,
Here are two websites that cite ethyl acetate as auto fuel. Note the low price. I think it is viable now. Any comments on this suggestion would be welcome. Cheers

Greetings everyone,
Got 2 references for use of ethyl acetate as auto fuel and octane boosting. I believe it will be better than ethanol since it is miscible with petrol and a lot easier to make and rectify, unlike ethanol. Sorry I forgot to include their url in previous mail. Cheers.
