Re: [Biofuel] distilling fuel/reactant ethanol

   The non renewable energy sector  with its good marketing system make  people  not  think of this noval Biofuel system .Here  we are very sucessful to make the direct burning of caster oil  and alcohol for  cooking.Very  cheap stoves can be  used for doing the cooking , not having smoke. Better than kerosene.
 The rural energy is the root cause of the underdevelopments. Several tones of fruits of bad quality, here to be estimated to be more than 40 porcent of the fruits expoted , are all wasted,  can be very easily fermented and the  extraction process without distillation  can be done any rural people , no chemicals needed, leading to vable biofuel . Together with petrol pump , this mixture of etanol castor can be sold , as an good additivos for IC engines .

  Wishing a good sucess

After thinking about this and searching the archives...

Anyone actually doing this?

What is the minimun amount of castor oil per volume of water/ethanol
solution to be effective?

Are there any applications where the castor/ethanol solution could be
burned directly? i.e. in an diesel/gasoline(RUG) engine, heater, etc.
mixed with RUG, BD?

Will the castor/ethanol mix with RUG, since it has very low water?
Will it mix well with diesel or biodiesel.

...thinking out loud.
