All very true. Pistons can come to look like Swiss cheese fondue on a connecting rod to.

So what you seem to be saying is rating (burn starter energy), by whatever means (ethanol, whatever), is more important and the actual energy content doesn't matter much with a blower. In fact, the rational for the 91 oct. sects belief system is opposite to that which you are suggesting for this app.
Interesting about e-gas. I've not seen it...but I haven't looked either. What is it likely to dissolve?
