What is the power density of the ethanol? I know you have to shoot more of
it through the engine to keep from running lean. How does fuel consumption
compare; gph gasoleen vs gph ethanol. What weight difference is there?

About 10% more needed per HP. A little less than 10% weight.

With Methanol containing about half the energy per unit volume of gas

Change the word Methanol to Ethanol.

I have a problem reconciling that 10% more. What am I missing?


The M. Talking Ethanol, not Methanol. Different horses for different
courses, as they say.

The Methanol was a one letter typo. I knew what I meant.:-))
