Understand it will work to blend it in other fuel injected vehicles or those rated to run it. We had ethanol plants years ago next door in NM but they all shut down 15 years ago as tax credits ran out and the alternative fuel thing wasn't flying then. Back then I tried running it in carbureted vehicles and that was a mistake in some. You have to have a carburetor with no plastic or resin floats inside as alcohols of higher percentages will melt that stuff and dry out and shrink gaskets and it won't run right anymore or can just ruin the carb. A older carb with all metal parts and brass float can work with it if jetted right and adjustable but we still just had to run it as a blend in gasoline.
