Ethanol fuel is ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, used as fuel. It is most often used as a motor fuel, mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline.Click to see full answer. Just so, which alcohol is the most efficient fuel?Amazingly, Propanol is the most time and weight efficient fuel. In fact, none of the fuels changed position in how efficient they were. For both criteria, the fuels were ordered as follows: Best: Propanol Pentanol Butanol Methanol Worst: Ethanol Yet, is this all I can find out about the fuels? can you fuel a car with alcohol? Alcohol, especially high-proof “moonshine”, will burn very well, and so it can be used as a motor fuel, if the engine is tuned properly to use it. Therein is the major problem with ethanol; it’s about a quarter the molecular weight of octane, the principal alkane found in normal gasoline. Beside above, why is petrol mixed with alcohol? Ethanol blending is a process of blending (mixing) ethanol with petrol. Ethanol is mainly obtained from sugar industry which is a by-product of sugarcane molasses. Ethanol blending reduces carbon monoxide(CO) and carbon-dioxide emissions up-to 30%, cleans the car engine and dirt from pipes and chambers.Which alcohol produces the most energy? To investigate which fuel gives out the most energy when burnt. We are burning ethanol, methanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol. Alcohol: Methanol Starting Mass: (g) 164.77 Finishing Mass: (g) 163.81 Starting Temperature: Degrees Celsius 39 Finishing Temperature: Degrees Celsius 50
