Abstract/Contents: | Brifely discusses the use of ethanol to power lawn mowers. States that "a ratio of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol works best in small engines." Discusses possible disadvantages of using ethanol, stating that "anything beyond 10 percent [ethanol], small engines have a real problem tolerating that much of an increase...If ethanol content is too high for the engine, the engine will overheat and burn up the plastic components in the fuel system." Concludes that "ethanol-based solutions burn more efficiently than pure gasoline, reducing toxic emissions." |
