Comments on: Scania's Ethanol Diesel-Engine, Runs On Biodiesel Too http://gas2.org/2008/04/15/scanias-ethanol-diesel-engine-runs-on-biodiesel-too/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

However, as far as heavy-duty vehicles go, ethanol hasn't been so much used as in light vehicles. Back here it's still easier to see the ethanol being used in blends with the regular Diesel fuel only at sugarcane farms and sugar/ethanol factories, and there were even a few trucks and tractors that used ethanol on compression-ignition engines without any ignition improver but the cost of this conversion was quite high...

I believe heavily in bio fuels and alcohol based fuels, but not made from food. Two things you should never burn...money or food.

Scania is ahead of the game with their R&D. The future of ethanol is not in the corn crop. There are other sources . Crops like sweet sorgum,jerusalem artichoke for starters. The sorgum yields about 400to 500 gallons per acre and jerusalem artichoke 600 to 1200 gallons per acre. The technology is there we, just need to use it .

Movement from within the current structure, to an "off-grid" parasitic lifestyle is afoot, and growing, and as soon as some hidden patents and discoveries in the refrigeration and insulation fields are leaked and mass produced by China - no great respecter of patent laws and American Military wishes anyway, the off-grid phenomenon will flourish and snowball! When diesel fuel costs a soldier per gallon, and comes from China's claims in Turkmenistan, through Afghanistan, to Israel, across the Mediterranean, and into New York Harbor, it will be for the exclusive use in the Uber-Rich folks limousines, not trucking food for the peons to be sure!

Our company is launching an ethanol at the local level industry. Knowing that there is an alternative power plant available is good news. I wonder how hard it would be to convert Amercan made diesel to ethanol? I’m very interested in the ethanol diesel motor. Our company is launching an ethanol at the local level industry.

Of course that is not much by amounts, but it is still the waste, not away from food to be eaten. My opinion is that all potential substitutes for fossile-fuels should be get considered. We are maintain at the moment to convert the heavy duties to diesel-methane. Also now we are try for also with diesel-ethanol (as now we have knolidge that some bigger are also do so!) good afternoon, chaps!

I come from kenya, sugar factories are dying because locally made sugar isnt competetive against sugar from countries that SUBSIDIZE on their farmers, so, what the heck? why not convert all the sugar factories here to produce ethanol and send out Chevron , BP, Caltex, Oillibya ...e.t.c im sure the savings in oil importation will more than cover the cost of importing sugar from subsidized farmers. - my two cents - Back to the discussion at hand, Scania should go on and mass produce these ethanol diesels, (or some wise nut should circulate the secrets on pdf on the net for all of us).
