So I was reading in my manual today that you can add grain alcohol to gasoline to create a more powerful fuel. My manual is in my bike right now, so my facts may be a bit off. But I think it said 10% grain alcohol and 90% gas creates ethenol gas? Have any of you done this? Is it dangerous or harmful to the engine? Does it make the fuel burn hotter? I'm just curious let me know what you guys think/know.
