this fuel as it is somewhat more corrosive to the fuel tank, fuel lines
and filters.
If this is the actual case, (as was the case way back in the 70's with the
high alcohol content fuels eating away the metal parts of the fuel system)
I forgot about that. Alcohol in steel containers promotes rust. There are
many OH radials attached to an alcohol molecular chain. But more
importantly, 100 proof alcohol is only 50% alcohol. The rest is water. Yes,
alcohol with water burns, but the water is bound to the alcohol, via the OH
radicals.
There are two types of alcohol they use ion fuel, ethanol and methanol, I
believe one is more actively corrosive than the other?
Not really, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. What really makes a
difference is the proof of the alcohol. The higher the proof rating, the
less corrosive the alcohol is. 200 proof (100%) alcohol would be ideal, but
there is still some corrosive properties.
I know that I was going to try a alcohol/water injection mix on my
supercharged Olds when I swap out to a higher boost supercharger unit. But
that will be in its own plastic tank and hosing.
Again, water mixed with alcohol.
