It has 2% gasoline added as the only denaturant. I think if >you wanted to use ethanol with 10% water, about the only processes >that could work would be acid-based or lipase-catalyzed. Too bad...
Oh - you mean a person's wants have to be grounded in reality somehow or another? Damn, that's a blow. Ah well, I thought as much, worth a try though eh? On the other hand, the ACREVO study talks of using 9% of 95% ethanol mixed with SVO in DI motors. So make it 10% of 90% already... But I know, that ain't biodiesel. Thanks again.
