don't know much about ethanol but methanol is the alcohol that they use in fuelies. it will produce much more power than gasoline. problem is it attacks aluminum and creates scales and gums things up.

i thought that the problem witn ethanol was that it would disolve fiberglass gas tanks and create deposites in the engine. I think that is why they quit putting fiberglass tanks in boats about 25 years ago.

btw most alcohol is acidic and that can cause problems. but the lake water is probably as acidic as ethanol.
