Alcohol engine means ALCOHOL ENGINE... more especific Ethanol Engine....
Here is an interesting link that explain all:
Click ME!!! :D

Its an brazilian fuel that was developed from sugar cane (that is a renewable source) and is more eficient than gasoline (an 2.0 Gasoline Santana has 99 cv and the same car moved by alcohol has 112.... ).
The only problem was that in winter it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to start the engine..... WAS, because nowadays electronic fuel injection can solve this problem.... ;)

PerL 23-09-2004 22:51

Man, I STILL love those 2-door Santanas!

evilnyntje 24-09-2004 09:42

Thanks, FDL...

But remember... Only cars WITHOUT regular maintenance is almost impossible to start the engine in winter. My alcohol engine cars never shows this problem in winter. ;)

See ya!

Thats because you live in São Paulo.... here in Curitiba in winter the temperature goes to -2ºC, -3ºC..... and my father had a Parati Alcohol 1984 (Fox Wagon), that thing in winter was REALLY hard to start.... (it didn't had the gasoline reservatory..... )

Putzgrila 29-09-2004 19:42

Geeee!!
You really had that sell that car?

Stijn 29-09-2004 21:15

Petrobras pumps amaze me, still find it weird to see a big pump with ALCOOL on it!
Nice Santana Coupe :p

RedJet 29-09-2004 21:23

In the near future, cars will run on alcohol here as well (as an additive to currently used fuels)

Ve_Erre 30-09-2004 07:03

our gasoline have 20 to 25% of ethanol as additive...
