It's simply not worth the effort. To burn alcohol you'd need to build an engine that can handle it. That would run you probably 20 grand at a minimum. Then you'd have to make the alcohol in mass quantities. A 5 gallon bucket will yeild about 3/4 of a liter's worth of fuel. That's roughly 2 gallons of fuel for every 50 gallons fermented and distilled. You'd need to ferment and distill 800 gallons at a time just for a tank of fuel, and it'd take you 11 days at a minimum to make 1 tank of fuel. You'd have to be fermenting 1,600 gallons at a time (800 for this week's tank, 800 for next week's tank).
