Why is there alcohol in your gasoline and will it cause you any problems?
SyndicatedNET
There is alcohol to reduce the volume of gasoline. It was introduced as 'gasahol' during the fuel shortage of the 1970's. It has been pushed by Congress as a way to use fewer fossil fuels. Unfortunately, it also reduces fuel mileage, so it's benefits are suspect. It can do damage to internal carburetor/fuel injection seals over time, especially in small engines such as lawn mowers and weed whackers or chain saws. Try to purchase non-alcohol gas to use in those devices.

Where is gasohol used?
Gasohol was just gasoline with a portion of alcohol in it. Some stations carried it. It did not cause any problems to the vehicles I drove and really didn't change the power output of the vehicle. Because the percentage of alcohol mixed in is so low. Most likely to be found at economy branded gas stations(mainly because they did not have any other additive to promote>Techroline.....tell me what is that for example?<. Gasohol is still being sold but it does not prove to be the economical substitute for gasoline as initially thought. It's cost of production is at par with gasoline and never could supply the demand if it went "full out" pure alcohol. So, for now it remains as an additive.

What will happens if alcohol is spread on the computer?
Alcohol by itself (as in rubbing alcohol) will not cause any problems with your computer. It is in fact, an excellent cleaner for the surface of component boards. However, the alcohol must be allowed to completely evaporate before power is re-applied to the board, as alcohol conducts electricity. Also, alcohol (NOT rubbing or denatured, the stuff you actually drink) if spread on your computer will cause HUGE problems; not the alcohol itself, but the impurities and/or mixers in it. These impurities will often leave a conductive residue on the surface of your board and cause short-circuits and component failure.
