Alcohol does run cooler, and cleaner. However, It requires just about twice as much to do the same amount of work as gasoline. So the pilot, and main jetting would basicly have to be almost twice as large to allow for the correct volume of fluid to run through them to get the job done. We're almost talking 4,5 mpg with the alcohol. I don't think the Digijet,or Digifant would be able to handle the correct volume of fluid required to make the engine run right. We'd be all back to carbs with big jetting. |
