From an auto manufacturing scale it seems like it would be a major risk to the major auto manufactures. While the extensive infrastructure exists for gasoline powered vehicles the same cannot be said for pure alcohol run vehicles. So it is a catch 22 the infrastructure (the production, refining, and distribution) for alcohol run vehicles doesn't exist because alcohol run vehicles aren't really produced on a large scale, and they won't be produced on a large scale because the fuel infrastructure is non existent. So the technology exists, however the demand and availability to refuel make it undesirable for auto manufacturers to produce them.
What else can I help you with?
What is the meaning of 1.6 liter engine?
it means the amount of fuel the cars engine can hold. In simple terms it is the total value of fuel held in each of the cars cylinders.
How do you get water out of a gas tank?

What fuels can be made out of crude oil?
Gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel for cars, and heating oil are the most common.
Could the US reduce its use of oil by increasing use of nuclear power plants?
Yes, dramatically. Especially if we switched to hydrogen fuel cell cars and produced the hydrogen in the nuclear power plants by direct thermal conversion without generation of electricity.
What could cause Jet Fuel A MSEP ratings to degrade as the fuel passes through a pipeline system?
Contamination with a fuel containing surfactants could cause the MSEP rating to degrade as it passes through a pipeline. See also the links below.
Can alcohol fuel cars?
Yes, in many places you can buy Ethanol, a combination of gasoline and alcohol at the pump.
Where is the fuel filter on a 1964 mustang?
That pump is where a pump belongs! It is mounted on the side of the engine. It is a mechanical pump. That is back when we could still build cars.
Indy Racing League cars use what fuel and what makes it different from the fuel used in Nascar and Formula One cars?
Indycars and F1 cars use alcohol-based fuels. NASCAR uses high-octane gasolines.
How is ethanol made for cars?
Ethanol is alcohol made from corn/sugar cane, etc. it is the same alcohol you drink. Cars that run on ethanol, have different fuel lines, injectors, ECU programming since ethanol runs at a different ai/fuel ratio than gasoline.
What kind of fuel do cars run on?
Most passenger cars run on gasoline (petrol), diesel fuel (including biodiesel), or alcohol (including ethanol mixed with gasoline). A few multi-passenger vehicles run on natural gas. Extreme race cars can run on straight alcohol (as do some cars in countries like Brazil). Probably 80% of the cars and pickups run on gasoline and most of the rest on diesel.
What types of fuels do you run cars on?
unleaded gasoline(99%) nitrometane- top fuel dragsters/funny cars Compressed Natural Gas Propane Hydrogen Bio fuel-alcohol Diesel Bio-diesel Vegetable oil
When you try to accelerate the car bogs down?
newer cars could be air filter or fuel filter. older cars could also have improper timing on the plugs.
Where could a company get fuel cards for its fleet of cars?
There are many different companies where fuel card can be bought for a fleet of cars. Some of these include: Exxon, Fuelman, and Fleetmatics to name a few.
Why does the French build sutch crappy cars?
They seem just fine for the French. Most of French-made cars (often built in Eastern europe) are fuel-efficient and not as pricey as German cars for comparable prestations.
Can the Flex fuel logo be used on Bio Diesel cars?
The "flex fuel" logo indicates standard internal combustion of gasoline, alcohol, or similar fuels. Biodiesel does not qualify, being essentially a fuel ignited by compression.
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.
How can alcohol be used as a fuel?
Alcohol can be used as a fuel, such as ethanol, in engines by mixing it with gasoline or using it as a standalone fuel. Ethanol is derived from plant sources like corn or sugarcane and can be used in flex-fuel vehicles designed to run on various fuel blends. When burned, alcohol produces energy that can be converted into mechanical work to power vehicles or machinery.
