Alcohol as fuel for cars could require major engine tweaks
University of Florida IFAS engineer Larry Bagnall explains that gasohol may need minimal changes, while straight alcohol demands adjustments to fuel air mix and timing. He notes alcohol’s lower energy content reduces range and power, but with proper tuning engines can run on 160 proof alcohol and above with heat and compression enhancements and compatible materials.
