Alcohol in diesel engines -- Have technology, will travel -- policy permitting http://www.saeindia.org/Home/alcoholindieselengines.html Euro norms and beyond for automobiles - Alcohols In Diesel Engines I have some oher references, I'll dig hem up, more later. Best Keith
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 aircraft that will feature an ethanol engine that will increase its power by 5% over the counterpart gasoline engine, while saving 66% in energy costs, besides lowering the maintenance costs. However, using ethanol in diesel engines poses a different set of problems and challenges. I wonder if anyone in the Forum can cite cases of diesel engine conversions and/or give some sugestions to that effect. EPA claims that ethanol is a more efficient fuel than gasoline and diesel in both spark-ignited and compression-ignited engines, besides being a cleaner and a cheaper fuel. Many thanks in advance for your input. Luis R. Calzadilla Fundacion Sugar Cane Resesearch Organization Cali, Colombia [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
