actually alchohol gets rid of water. why would it corrode anything ?

 

Keep in mind that Alcohol burning motors are typically stripped and rebuilt every couple of runs...

I think it would be cool to have a "hybrid" system with 2 fuel cells (one for alcohol and one for gas), then just flip a switch and go!! The advantage of Alcohol lies in its "octane." It's very slow burning and produces a very hot combustion.

 

Alcohol dries out rubber seals, doesnt seem like a good thing unless you can tear down and rebuild frequently.

 

he was talking about corrosion. i believe alcohol race gas has an additive to prevent drying out of rubber gaskets

 

Alcohol degrades rubber and contaminated oil. If you want to get wild then give methanol a try. It seems to be the new big thing.
