haha i didn't know he died by "suicide"

that said you can run a regular ( non-diesel ) combustion engine ( that was designed or modified for that purpose ) on alcohol and it actually makes more power that way because Ethanol has 113 octane rating which is basically racing fuel.

for example Koenigsegg cars that make up to and over 2,000 horsepower require 85% Ethanol fuel to reach full power.
