|

Hi all,
I've (well the wife has) just bought a vehicle which started life in Brazil. And as such it is a duel fuel vehicle. It can run on Ethanol, the only problem is I can't find anywhere that sells ethanol.
The good news that as it's duel fuel the tax is only £120 per year.

No, that Methanol - Wood Alcohol.
Ethanol from the Fuel pumps in the UK is often made from Grain - wheat or sugar cane. - its a Blend too, 85% Ethanol blended with 15% Unleaded, is called E85 for this reason.

Morrisons' supermarket sell B85 in various places throughout Norfolk. Might be worth seeing if they have an outlet near you.
Aside: My wabasco heater works fine on E85 ethanol. 
Simon, I see your location is "infront PC", is that a Police Constable or a Personal Computer? Either way which part of the country are you in?

Damm, according to the link, the nearest station is in Derby, over 100 miles away.
