Gas, petrol, Benzin cost to much

submitted by Brewdabier from (self.whatever)

So I have started making my own, got 5 gallons 918L) fermenting. It's just water, sugar and bread yeast, ferment say 7 days then distill it. Do a second and third run to remove as much H2o. I might have to cut the shine with Gas, petrol, Benzin (whatever your country calls it) so the vehical will run on it.

Best thing is 25 lbs sugar cost $20 and will do 10 gallons of mash.

Alcohol burns slow, without cutting it heavily, you will impact the timing of your vehicle. Vehicles with a read physical carburetor will likely adapt easier. Most of my experience in things like this were attempting to add a fuel cell to hydrogen-assist vehicles about 10 years ago.

Was aware of this, I even said I might have to cut the shine with Gas.

Eight gallons of beer is thirty-two liters and sixty-four pints. Please give us follow-ups on your project.

It's a shame if you dont set aside some if the ethanol as your private stock of moonshine (white lightning, stump water).

Two problems with that, i's for diesel cars and then you have to travel around collecting the oil. I sit at my PC and order 50 pounds of sugar, only cost for me is water, sugar and electricity.
