Discussion

Folks, I have made the comment about ethanol being corrosive a little more specific, as those of us who drink it in concentrations up to 40% or more don't find it too corrosive.

I think we should make this in to a redirect to Ethanol fuel again. If you look you'll see that it also mentions methanol, but gives a much better treatment of the whole issue. -Will Beback 00:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Bioalcohol

I propose to merge the data from Bioalcohol here because there are too many scattered articles on alcohol already. The context of most biologically produced alcohol is as a petrol/diesel replacement so I think this should be a right place to be. --21:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Heat of vaporization (Hvap)

The article claims the Hvap of methanol and ethanol are an advantage. The fuel's purpose is not to cool the engine, and it does not even vaporize until it enters the cylinder in droplet form. A high Hvap only robs heat from the combustion (lowers thermodynamic efficiency), and the Ethanol fuel article suggest that this contributes to the problem of starting pure ethanol engines in cold weather, as flash point and heat of vaporization are not totally unrelated.

In short, I can see no reason how this is a benefit, and a source should be produced for it to stay in the article. Karma Heretic 07:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the statement. Karma Heretic 18:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ethanol used as fuel photo

This photo seems to have no relevance to alcohol fuel... 207.161.40.203 21:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eucalyptus in Russia?

Folks, this plant never grew in Russia in the first place. Maybe you meant Australia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.232.31.11 (talk) 14:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

propanol

There needs to be an article on propanol fuel, to complement the methan,ethan,butan,-ol articles. The propanol target is not so useful, since it's a dab page. 70.55.84.42 (talk) 11:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
