I read a scientific study on the corrosive effects of 100% ethanol on different metal compositions. This was a true monotone sounding non biased study. The results scared me. The pure stuff is very corrosive. The 10% stuff isn't nearly that corrosive but it does dry out non-resistant synthetic materials. The gunk and goo could come from the lower refined low octane gasoline the ethanol is blended with. Ethanol gives a low grade, low octane gasoline more octane but the gasoline itself is still low grade.

I was crucified at that time but I still stand with the statement I made. Someday our natural resources will run out. It won't be be in my lifetime or my grandchildrens lifetime, but it will happen. Ethanol and bio diesel and wnd energy won't come close to meeting the energy demand but at least the technology we are gaining today will be in place and might help soften the blow. I am glad I won't be alive then. Like I said previously if ethanol gave me problems I would drop it in a heartbeat but I haven't seen those problems on my farm.
