Feints as ethanol fuel - small engine or heat?

Postby B-Man » Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:23 pm

Anyone used the leftovers of feints run to run a small engine or burn for heating? Or what do you use it for?

I have a nearly shagged ride on mower that burns more oil than fuel.
I was thinking of converting to run on my leftovers. From what I can tell I'd have to advance the timing and a bigger jet?

Or I have kero heater and making a waste oil heater. I put a cap full of 99 iso into diesel to run in the kero heater to help it start the burn. But was wondering if I can use it to run on more/straight mix

ethanol is widely looked down as a fuel as it contains/attracts/absorbs water which get in your engine causing corrosion etc.
