A big no no!!
the ethanol in it is a solvent which cleans out all the sh*t from fuel tank and flushes it through your engine!

It'll get caught in the filter so you'll probably just have to change that after a short while and then all will be fine. Won't be a problem for new cars. Also how much actual shit is there in the fuel tank of a modern car thats been run on modern fuels. A few years back when I took the fuel pump and sender out of the tank of a car that I was scrapping I had a look in the bottom of the tank expecting to see all this shit I'd heard about over the years, there was nothing, it was as clean as a whistle. The car was 9 years old and had done 120,000 miles.

If you read the link it states it costs very little to convert your car to run on ethanol. Apparently brazil dont have to import oil anymore because nearly all there cars run on ethanol. Its also 100 plus octane and causes less polution.

Don't worry, if it catches on, whatever government is in power will soon tax it up to the 5 quid a gallon mark, it's their job.

One of the issues with mass produced bio-diesel and this,is that you need to chop down even more rain forset to grow the raw ingredient.
This will cause more issues than it will solve.
Either way we are all shagged and taxed to hell.

I think ethanol is hygroscopic so absorbs moisture from the air.
Leave it for a while and come back with a tank full of water.
(Maybe that's what happened eh TD.  )
I guess would be OK if you had a sealed bladder tank.

It will also dry your tank out of any water and on the plus side if you can get the water to ignite...well therew would be a tremendous energy source in itself!

I think water injection means ya can suppress detonation and run higher CR's - so mebbe you have a point.
Personally, I'd rather have a bit more control over the mix than that.

In water injection you don´t still ignite the water...when that happens controlling the burn WILL be an issue
