AN ETHANOL FUEL AND THE USE OF AN IGNITION IMPROVER

摘要

The ignition of an aqueous ethanol fuel is essentially improved by using a water soluble adduct of a polyol having 3-10 hydroxyl groups and ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide, the molecular weight of the adduct being 350-10,000. The fuel is in the form of a solution and contains 70-96 % by weight of ethanol, 2-10 % by weight of water and 0,5-20 % by weight of the ignition improving adduct.
