Okay on paper this sounds really ... well cool! I make my own Ethanol in homemade Still?
Here are my sites for reference:
There are also links to the appropriate sites for me to get a BATF alchohol permit etc. No moonshine for me *lol*
Questions:
Is the BATF alcohol permit like a Class III permit...ie Federally permitted, but some states pre-empt and forbid class III weapons and explosive devices?
Safety wise, is this a high risk peice of equipment? Not that is a valid comparison but I always think of grain elevator or refinery explosions and then this as a fire risk maybe?
Can my FI GM 3800 gasoline engine be safely and dependably run on a 100% Ethanol fuel?
What happens when I use Ethanol homemade added to gasoline already containing it? Is all Gasoline E10?
In terms of ingrediants ... how much do you estimate I pay per gallon versus the sites prediction? Site using "Flextune" gauge ... .75$ a gallon?
Do my rubber fuel line sections need to be changed to Stainless Steel? Perhaps somewhere I read on alchohol ... or maybe that was Xylene ... nm effect at high concentration on rubber.
Thanks-
