Synopsis

Excerpt from Power Alcohol: Its Production and Utilisation

The use of alcohol as a fuel for internal combustion engines is by no means a new development. Since the beginning of the present century it has been employed to a limited extent in farm engines, more especially in the neighbourhood of agricultural distilleries on the Continent. Alcohol engines have also been used success fully in some of the chief sugar-producing countries of the tropics, the fuel being derived from the fermentation of molasses. It is only within recent years, owing to the shortage and high price of petrol following on the war, that the employment of alcohol as a fuel for light motor transport has been seriously advocated.
