I’m probably wrong, but i believe that the alcohol used in racing outboards is Methanol, not Ethanol. The reason we use Ethanol is that it can be readily concocted from corn.. Keeps the farmers happy. No need to be concerned about using food for fuel! I always thought that the Ethanol producers should be required to use only their product as the energy source in their distilleries. In addiition, the pric we pay at thepump should be based on BTU content, not gallons delivered. Far fewer BTUs in a gallon of Ethanol, compared to a gallon of pure gasoline. The Ethanol lobby is enabling the rip-off we must endure at the pump! R.T.
