But what if you could make your own fuel and bypass the entire gas industry?That's the idea behind the eFuel Microfueler: Home brewed ethanol, on the cheap. Tom Quinn started toying with the concept after realizing that the gas industry is years away from a large-scale infrastructure for ethanol delivery and bogged down by regulatory measures. [Notes:SOT:Thomas Quinn Founder and CEO E-Fuel corp]QUINN DISCUSSES FOR HOME BREWING CAN BYPASS THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY.So how does it work? According to Quinn, it can produce Ethanol from raw sugar or can even distill it from discarded alcohol from restaurants with a cost per gallon at just under a buck. [Notes:SOT:Thomas Quinn Founder and CEO E-Fuel corp]QUINN DEMOS AND DISCUSSES DEVICE With the national average for a gallon of regular gas at just under $4.00 a gallon, ($3.96) Quinn hopes the Microfueler could one day become as common in American households as the refrigerator. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)
Ethanol is already in gas you get at the gas station at up to a 10% mix, newer cars are built to run at 85%, you can safely run a 65% mix in any car without any modifications. Ethanol is cleaner burning than regular gas. it does not ruin engine parts unless you drive a car built before the late 80s. I produce and use a 75% mix in my 2004 chevy silverado without any problems. Anyone without a felony conviction can get a permit from the government and produce their own fuel. I save nearly $200 a

@extrastype you have to remove all rubber & aluminum out of your fuel system,alcohol actually burns cooler than gasoline, they have had the tech to run cars on alcohol for years,many race cars run on alcohol,it just needs more compression...um supercharger :p alcohol engines can be fun when done right (you just have to ship some rednecks to the uk lol :D

This title is misleading. I was expecting a video on HOW to brew, not what product to buy that brews it for me.
It's always, 'buy my shit', rather than, 'make your own shit'.

ethanol is destroying engines, it runs to hot, it also destroys gas tanks made from fiberglass (bikes scooters) here in UK we are having massive problems with it, modern engines with 6 ECU meters (Toyota's etc ok) an engine over 20 years old is in BIG BIG trouble, trust me ethanol is shit, it also strips off petaseal (petaseal seals gas tanks) about 2 million here in the UK alone, this starves engine of fuel,. runs lean, and seizes up, yea ethanol is pants man, STOP RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL . . .
