When we start talking about acetone,
have we thought about using butanol
for our fuel of choice. With the ABE
method, you would get acetone and
butanol out of the same batch. That
might be the turning point for rotary
engines.

We don't need no stinking turning point :)
the rotary is about as efficient as a Lycoming
and much better than a O-470 Continental.

We need to get the alcohol out of the composite
fuel tanks. I shutter to thing what acetone would
do to epoxy. Sounds like butanol would be worse.

Perhaps if the new gov gets  rid of the ethanol
subsidy as they are talking about it will disappear
if we are lucky. It is up to your vote.

You should look up butanol as a fuel that doesn't
have all the problems of ethanol and probably wouldn't
interfere with the composite fuel tanks. It may have a
faster burning cycle.

What does it cost?
