  • In a pinch could you use Jack Daniel's as a fuel to get to the nearest gas station? Today we will test 9 different combustable liquids in the engine of our new and beloved Ford Pinto, and we're gonna find out!
    Are you or anyone you know going through a divorce? If so, i'm sorry to hear about it, but we'd love to help divide the assets.

    One reason the pure methanol didn't work as well as the ethanol (Everclear) is that the stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio is lower for methanol than ethanol (and ethanol's is even lower than gasoline). Pump gas has a stoichiometric AFR of about 14.7:1, ethanol has 9:1, and methanol has 6.4:1. If you restrict the airflow to the engine by, for example, applying the choke, or if you increase the size of the jets on the carburetor, it may run quite well on methanol or ethanol.

    Yes. Generally you want to up the jets like 2 sizes on a a carburetor so it will burn alcohol instead of gas, But Jack is low proof and high sugar. so you might have to go up more, unless you plan to refine it, or add gass or more pure alcohol. It will run for a while, but the real problem is the sugar. Sugar Carnalizes when you cook it. if you think valve deposits are bad with cheap gas, Wait till youre cooking sugar in with youre cylinders .
    Oh and for the record, its perfectly leagle to brew shine as a car fuel, but you have to add like 5 percent (i cant remember the exact amount) Gasoline to it, This makes it Undrinkable, and not taxable by the ATF.. It also means you dont have to discard the leads or trailers on the distill.
    If youre brewing alcohol in the quantities needed to fuel a car, The ATF will find out, and its best not to have more than a couple of quarts of pure stuff lying around.

    The stories about older cars running on alcohol in a pinch were because the typical compression, ignition timing, and octane were generally different in those vehicles! You really could run an older vehicle (sometimes) on alcohol. Carburetor, of course, is necessary. Modern cars tend to absolutely not run on alcohol first and foremost due to ignition timing, even though a modern vehicle will adjust ignition timing based on the perceived combust-ability of the fuel it's receiving.

    @corkbulb2895 Před 14 dny

    I will tell you from personal experience the alcohol percentage, or ABV (alcohol by volume), of a drink makes a HUGE difference in the drink's effects. For example, anything lower than 4% is impossible to get smashed on. You can chug a whole 12 pack in 2 hours and barely get a buzz. The excess water just flushes the alcohol out of your body and dilutes your blood enough to decrease any intoxicating effects. And even with beer, just a few fractions of a percent increase in ABV makes a significant difference in how drunk you get. For example, drinking Rolling Rock, which is 4.4% ABV, gives you a nice buzz and you get fairly intoxicated after drinking a few of them in a short amount of time. But Natural Ice is 5.9% ABV and drinking a few of those over a longer time gets you WAY more drunk. Get way more of a hangover too. Again that appears to be from the excess water in the beverages. Seems like It is not just the alcohol percentage that makes a difference, but the excess water in a drink with lower alcohol *decreases* the effects of what alcohol is in the drink in the first place. Now with spirits, going from 40% vodka to 50% vodka gets you SMASHED! Way more than the lower ABV stuff. It also gives you one HELL of a hangover and I was gagging on it a lot more. It also get you WAY more drunk on way less. Again, I'm suspecting the water content has something to do with it. Why am I talking about getting drunk on an alternative fuel for cars video? Well, why the hell not!?

    I wonder if tried making E85 with the everclear and some gas, it would work better. Then again IIRC cars that can run on E85 need to inject more fuel to compensate for the fact that it has lower energy density despite having an extremely high octane rating, so you'd probably need to run it a lot richer than normal to run smothely. That and probably a bunch of new fuel lines if you're going to do it for more than a few tests so they don't get eaten by the ethanol.

    Antifreeze doesn’t contain methanol. It’s got ethanol. But either way, they are both alcohols. But antifreeze and washer fluid are not flammable without distilling the alcohols out from the rest of the ingredients.
    When the car is running then sputters on these, it’s just residual gasoline in the line/carb.
    But the ratio of fuel to air is also different with alcohol based fuels. For example, the engine needs around 33% more fuel for the same amount of air with E85.
