The fuel system must be purpose designed for alcohol, due to the lacking thermal properties of alcoho. Get ahold of anyone running a sprint car and they can give you specifics of alcohol vs. gasoline differences. Bob PS-When Parnelli Jones was racing off-road, he ran out of gas once in the Baja 1000; he bought tequila from a local, poured it into the fuel tank and made it to the next refueling stop.
