I might believe 50% ethanol / 50% water which is 100 proof moonshine will burn. Thats how they used to test the purity of booze.If it would burn,that was 100% proof that it was atleast 50% alcohol,and had not been watered down. I would bet that it would not make much power,as most of the alcohol btu's would likely be used up evaporating the 50% water portion.
I read that 90% ethanol/10% water work well in an engine designed for wet alcohol(180 proof or less). You do not have to do the difficult task of removing that last 10% water from the distilled alcohol,and they claim that the extra steam expansion of the water,more than makes up for the btu's lost in not having 100% pure ethanol. The only reason to make 100% pure ethanol is so it can be mixed with petrolium products like gasoline to make Gasahol (E10-E85).
