Nice work!

But i do have a question.

What kind of carb do you use?

It looks like the zenoah gd230 or gd260.

But these are gas carbs, and when you but ethanol in you carb it will break.

So tis is my question.... Where did you find that ethanol proof carburator?

Thx!

@MrSjaakie1987

Thank for comment and question , form my experiment i have used E85 2-3 years by not effect with Zenoah 26 CC (original carb ) but methanol will be break gas carb in very short period .

@surats52

But E85 = 85% ethanol and 15% gas.....

So.. if that works.. pure ethanol could work aswell....

What do you think?

@MrSjaakie1987

I have never used pure ethanol before because it more expensive than E85 . And i think that pure ethanol is not so good for spark plug ( lower resistance will be get short circuit for high voltage )

does it make a greasy mess like nitro?

[surats52]

@rockinar Sorry for late answer , greasy mess less than nitro.

This fuel is E85 (Ethanol85% and 15% of benzene) mixed with extra oil.

It is easy to make 5 lbs sugar 5lbs corn meal 2 packets of bread yeast in 5 gallon bucket with water with lid on and a small hose running from lid into a glass of water to let out co2 and not let oxygen in let ferment tell it stops bubbling, run it through a still a couple of times and then a molecular sieve. your goal is to get as close to 200 proof as possible. you might have to run it through the still more than a couple of times. I think ethanol evaporates at 172 degrees and water 211.

how do you make this fuel
