Dear Micheal
Several research have been carried out to mix Ethanol/Diesel ,
but not yet come well come to comercial scale. See the previous post
here in this group to make microemulsion of ethanol and additives
which need to be pure , not hydrated.
With suitable additives which are very effective had been known
, but are very costlier and biodeisel can be an additive to make
possible the use ethanol to increase cetane number as reported in
some patents , but only upto maximium 10 porcent.
Several useful links can be seen in the old list of our group here
as follows.
