Ethanol / E100 -- brewing, cooking, burn, fuel.

Anyone here do that?

Probably straight Corn Ethanol. Anyone cook that and/or run it?

If so, what breeds and brands or equipment?

Any special modification to do so?

Thanks!

(btw, please move this if not in correct area?)

hmmmm.

Always on the edge of the cutting fashion, it seems.

I use the coleman stove burning pump regular gas to make maple syrup. I have three of them, and at times there are 5 pots all boiling.

We have made about three gallons of syrup this season. About average....

The coleman stoves have a wide variability of burner performance that depends on the ambient temperature.

Warm fuel works better ;-)

Researchers still have a long way to go before this is an acceptable fuel for diesel engines. Lack of lubricity is a major problem.

Effects of Diesel–Biodiesel–Ethanol Fuel Blend on a Passive Mode of Selective Catalytic Reduction to Reduce NOx Emission from Real Diesel Engine Exhaust Gas - PMC

The effects of ethanol on combustion and emission were investigated on a single-cylinder unmodified diesel engine. The ethanol content of 10–50 vol % was chosen to blend with diesel and biodiesel fuels. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of ...
