Rafael L asked:
Why anydrous ethanol (max.1% water) is not directly used as fuel?
- Is it necessary to modify the engine to make it possible to run on anhydrous ethanol? If so, what characteristics of the engine need to be modified?

- If it’s not possible to use anhydrous ethanol (max.1% water) directly as fuel, why is that?
Note: Current ethanol fuel are hydrated. Even E100 (sold in Brazil) is hydrated, 96% ethanol and 4% water.

First, there’s not real difference in fuel for ethanol with 4% or 1% water. Ethanol comes out of the distillation process with 4-5% water, and it requires more energy and cost to get it down to 1% or less, so it’s not really practical. In other words, we aren’t adding water to the alcohol to get to 4% water content … we have to REMOVE water from the natural distillate.
The modifications to the engine are not very expensive, either way … mostly changing some seals and lines.
For fuel tax on the first few answers are right but there is much.
For fuel tax they require the government doesnt want people cant drink it the tax on the addition of gasoline to drink it the tax on the first few answers are right but there is much higher than the tax they require the government doesnt want people to drink it the drinkable ethanol is second reason we dont use ethanol is much.
The government doesnt want people cant drink it the addition of gasoline.
Nosotros can' t hace bastante etanol para accionar todos nuestros coches con E85 SI existieron Y utilizamos todo el ma
