Right Fuel, Right Time

 

Explaining features and benefits of higher mixed alcohol fuel and its associated synthesis process would fill a book.  Here’s the short story!

Higher mixed alcohol fuel is a formulated blend of C-1 through C-10 linear (normal) alcohols featuring a powerful 138 octane rating. With EPA registration approval for seamless blending and use in gasoline and diesel engines in all 50 states, Higher mixed alcohol fuel can be utilized without engine modification as a total substitute (neat) fuel for flex-fuel vehicles, or as a blend stock to gasoline, aviation gasoline, kerosene jet fuel, petroleum-derived diesel, bio-diesel, synthetic diesel, locomotive diesel, home-heating oil, and bunker oil.

Think good, better, best as a way of understanding the comparative value of ethanol, methanol and higher mixed alcohol fuel. Higher mixed alcohol fuel contains about 60% more BTUs per unit volume than C1 methanol, and nearly 20% more BTUs than corn ethanol.
