Generally speaking, it would be impractical to power a car just on spiritous liquor. If you are producing high alcohol content ethanol, you know how much effort goes into the process. If you can produce better than 90% alcohol, you are doing well and probably should water it down and drink it rather than feeding it to your car. If you insist on feeding it to your car, be prepared to do some modifications to your car and lots of tweeking and tuning and experimenting with different plugs and timing and fuel/air ratios. Alcohol doesn't perform the same way Hydrocarbon fuels do. In Australia we run E10 Unleaded fuel which is 10% Ethanol 90% Hydrocarbon fuel, there is a considerable difference in power and consumption, with E10 being lower powered, and more consumption, at higher concentrations of Ethanol, I would expect an even poorer result.

How does cars work?
=cars work by using a special power but not the same as house power or anything like that=
How does solar powered cars work at night?
By using power stored in the batteries
Can 360 scalextric cars run on normal track?
If you had a long enough track and enough voltage to power all the cars, it should be possible, although it is likely you will burn out the powerbase or the cars won't get enough power
How do you do different test on automotive cars using a multimeter?
Ohms=resistance in the wiring. Volts=your power. Amps=how much power u got;)
How long has the world been using oil in their everyday lives?
we use it to power homes cars and we use it to eat
What fuel will cars run on in the future?
Many alternative fuels, and there can also be air-powered cars, hydrogen powered cars, electric cars, and many more. The best part about using air, hydrogen, and electricity to power cars is that it produces 0 carbon emissions.
Using Electric Cars?
When you use electric cars, there are some precautions that you should take. You should always be sure to ride on flat land when driving electric cars. Electric cars do not drive well on hilly terrain. In fact, it can be quite dangerous to drive one of these cars over a bridge or on a large hill.
Why do you need to switch to electric cars?
You should switch to electric cars because there cheaper to drive and they have zero emissions. The electricity created to power electric cars also is less pollutant then gasoline vehicles.
Do you sand between acrylic paint coats for cars?
no you do not sand when using acrylic, nor should you have to clearcoat.
What color is the power steering fluids?
Power steering fluid is basically clear. Some cars use transmission fluid in the power steering which is dark red. You can use power steering fluid in cars that use transmission fluid but not the reverse. The cap of the reservoir should say power steering fluid only.
Save Money Using All Electric Cars?
There is a lot of money to be saved through the use of all electric cars. These cars can get their fuel from a whole lot of different venues, making them much nicer on your wallet. After all, you could conceivably build your own solar array or wind turbine to power all electric cars, so the power that is put into your hands by purchasing one of these cars is immense.
Do modern electronics reduce greenhouse emissions from cars?
Yes, By using more battery power and less gas to run the car.
