Hi Ethanol is close to gasoline when referring to fueling energy to an engine. Therefore cetane number is low even though ethanol prefers higher pressure than regular gasoline. So ethanol diesel blend to be viable as fuel and easy the blending has to have two supports: cetane improver additive

Ah, it just opens the new energy path. If only the BD could be used for diesels, only the energy from oily plants can be harvested for usage in cars. With this new path, more avenues are opened. Energy input from starchy plants (especially keeping in mind the ethanol generation from celulose) can

Keith, If I remembered right, the Swedish diesel buses are running on a wood alcohol mix, with some sort of additive. In Sweden it is now more and more common that the buses use biofuel. Hakan At 18:47 07/06/2006, you wrote: Hi Tomas Hi, this one fuel combination is interesting. I've
