As long as this is still in the theory stage: Remember that ethanol is an excellant cleaning solvent. You will need to pay extra special attention to your 2 cylinder compressor to make sure the essential mechanical parts are still being oiled. The ethanol vapor will tend to wash the cylinder walls clean and also contaminate your compressor crankcase oil. A thin oil film is necessary to maintain the seal between piston rings and cylinder walls. Once the oil film is gone, the rings will have metal to metal contact with the cylinder walls. You may be able able to keep it operation long enough to validate your theory.
As long as you are using a propane tank in the system. Have you considered using a larger tank. Using the air comnpressor draw a vacuum onto the tank and then use it as a stored energy source. A typical thousand gallon service propane tank with special plumbing and valving will retain a good volume of vacuum and then with special valve controls, you can apply it as needed. > I have a big 2 cylinder air compressor I'm thinking of using.
