In general, lots of information at Journey to Forever and Webconx: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels http://webconx.green-trust.org/2000/biofuel/biofuel.htm Biofuel at WebConX And in our two archives, Biofuel and Biofuels Biz: http://archive.nnytech.net/ If it gets more specific, ask the list. >I have another question. Can normal petromax lamp be >lit on ethanol? The BriteLyt Petromax multi-fuel lantern works on ethanol and on biodiesel (not sure about SVO, maybe not). I don't know about the generic look-alikes. Best ask the manufacturers rather than trying it out yourself (might be risky). If they don't know, you can probably persuade them to do tests, considering that it would be a market-plus in view of India's ethanol plans. Also check with NARI - Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute: http://nariphaltan.virtualave.net/itm00005.htm Improved kerosine lanterns Best wishes Keith >Best regards, >siva.
