>Hi, Flashyrider
>About converting your engine, I have never done it, but I can tell you what
>I have seen in some 4 stroke/4 cylinders 1.3 L to 2.0 L ethanol powered
>Brazilian cars with some special devices installed at factory
>a) They changes the compression ratio to about 1/15 by diminishing
>the
>volume on the upper head of the combustion chamber (so you get maximum
>efficiency from ethanol that withstand high compression ratios)
>b) The ethanol needs to over 30¡ C room temperature to have enough
>amount
>of evaporation in carburettor, so they should add a preheating device or
>use an automatic controlled starting mixture of high octane gasoline or
>that is turn off when the engine reaches its working temp.
>c) You might add after the carburettor a hot comb or fingers made
>of
>aluminium in contact with some part of the exhaust as a heat exchanger,
>and add to the air intake a metal hose or cover around the exhaust of the
>engine if you are living in some cold climate country.

>3. I built a valved reflux still and I need to know what is the best
