Does any manufacturer produce a backup generator that can run on gasoline or ethanol or methanol?
Yes, generators are manufactured that can run on these products. The overlying factor is how large a KVA generator is needed for backup. If a large size generator is needed, the gasoline engine driving the generator may not have enough horsepower to do the job when compared to a diesel engine. Larger gasoline engines consume much more fuel per HP than do diesel engines, if cost is a factor in the equation as to what engine should be used to drive the generator.

Can Methanol be mixed with Antifreeze?
Yes, methanol can be mixed with antifreeze. Methanol is sometimes added to antifreeze solutions to decrease the freezing point and improve the efficiency of the antifreeze. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and safety guidelines when mixing methanol with antifreeze.
What 5 substances can be classified as liquid and flammable?
There are far more than five. Ethanol, methanol, 2-propanol, pentane, and hexane are five extremely common examples.
Can methanol ethanol or butanol from biomass replace gasoline in cars in a few years?
I don't think enough could be produced to do this
Why methanol is added to ethanol?
To avoid misuse of ethanol for drinking purpose it is denatured with methanol.
What does the term flex fuel mean?
Flex fuel is a blend of gasoline and either ethanol or methanol. This combination of fuel is stored in one tank, just as traditional gas. An example of this fuel is E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
Can you turn methanol into ethanol?
Yes, methanol can be converted into ethanol through a process called catalytic hydrogenation, where hydrogen gas is reacted with methanol over a catalyst to yield ethanol. This process involves changing the molecular structure of methanol to produce ethanol.
What is difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol is CH3OH while ethanol is C2H5OH. The difference is CH2.
Ethanol containing some methanol is called?
Ethanol containing some methanol is called adulterated ethanol. Methanol is a toxic compound that can have harmful effects if consumed in high quantities. Industries or individuals may add methanol to ethanol for various reasons, but it is illegal and dangerous due to the health risks associated with methanol consumption.
What is used in alcohol- methanol or ethanol?
ethanol is used in alcohol
How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?
Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.
Are most alcohols soluble in methanol or ethanol?
Most alcohols are soluble in both methanol and ethanol due to their similar chemical properties.
Difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.
