While on the topic..
Are there any reports on emissions from E85/B20 vehicles - CO, CO2, PM10/PM2.5?

cicles and Biodiesel do not have the flash point enough for a low
compression engine.

Part of the reason is probably because diesels in the US have a
reputation of being slow, noisy, and dirty. Most people in the US
haven't seen a diesel car since the early 80's, and assume that the
technology is the same as 20 years ago (or worse yet, remember the
famed 5.7L GM diesel engine

One thing to remember, Anna. Ethanol has been used at the pump for over 20 years, primarily in a blend. There are several states which mandate it's use in a blend seasonally, for pollution abatement. The "oxygenated" fuels. So public familiarity is built in. The use of spark-ignited combustion in
50:1 I thought is was 20:1 sorry for the confussion.

Andrew,
Ethanol and Biodiesel are totally different
Hello All, 1st time post here! Excuse my interruption, but I'm reasonably certain there are no diesel engines achieving 50 to 1 compression ratios. The heat generated by such compression would probably melt, if not burn, conventional cast iron cylinders liners and cylinder heads, as well as
quality.
This gave the diesel tractor a greater advantage as down time was
reduced.

I am curious as to why ethynol has dominated the
recent discussion in main stream media of alternative
fuels. The way I see it biodiesel is already
available as are diesel cars to use it.
Does anyone know of any studies that compare the cost
and environmental impacts of ethynol vs biodiesel?
Greetings Anna and All,
I believe ethanol dominates the main stream media because of big companies like ADM which stand to benefit from it. From a more environmental standpointethanol can be made from diverse feedstocks like cellulose, starch, and sugar. It can be used in automobiles with
I would welcome correct where due if I'm wrong, but vehicles currently
being marketed (barring FFVs) aren't fully suited to either ethanol or
biodiesel.
With ethanol, there are the dual issues of not enough compression in a
standard gas engine to make the most of ethanol, and corrossion issues
