A message to the Forum:
Ethanol has proved its worth as a neat fuel for spark ingnited engines.
Brazil boasts around 4 million vehicles that
run on 100% ethanol. To further prove the reliability of neat ethanol
engines, Embraer in Brazil will put in service
within a few months its Ipanema
based type. For the benefit of
everyone I will publish my results.
Thanks very much and take care,
