Well, what do you know.  There are some serious thinkers on this forum.  After I posted my question the first two answers weren't answers at all.  One wanted to trade and the other said my engine would run rough and then self-distruct.  He didn't say why.  I believe that problems can be overcome and as I gleaned from the other posts the 6/1 can run on ethonal (which is alcohol not gasoline) but the cost is probably prohibitive.  I would probably go through many engines and still end up running on diesel.  I live in rural Arizona on 40 acres off the grid.  We live in a camp trailer and are building a stick built house.  We had the concrete work done and I am doing the rest.  The garage/wood shop (28x48) is completed and the roof is on the 2200 sq/ft house.  I've started on the wiring and the plumbing is next.  After 66 years I still believe in doing it yourself.  I'm still learning and will continue to read this forum because there are some serious thinkers and problem solvers here. Nuf said.

I have a 6/1 indirect injected engine and am considering running straight ethanol (160 to 190 proof).  Is this possible and what are the ill effects if any?  If it is possible what would need to be done to make it happen? Thanks for the input.  Ed
