Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? I think one problem would be getting it started on alcohol but if you had a small tank of gasoline then ones running, switch over to the main alcohol tank it would work. The other problem would be that like ethanol, you are burning something that costs too much to make, you would have to find some one dumb enough to let you have alcohol cheaply or do like the government, and pay for it with someone else's money. Moonshine was usually cut with water or what ever to make more money, the good stuff was made with good ingredients but the sugar shine was higher alcohol and sent to the cities where they didn't care and probably cut it several more times. You better just get some cheap gasoline.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Do you have a supply of cheap alcohol because generally speaking it will be much more, costly than cheap gasoline. What are you hoping to accomplish? What is your purpose? There was talk during the compression of starting the vehicle with gasoline and quickly changing to gasoline. Economically it makes ( no cents $ ) sense whatsoever.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Isn't this one of those questions that gets asked when people are speculating about societal collapse? The underlying assumption seems to be that gas isn't available.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? A low compression engine will run on about anything that has some volatility to it but that doesn't mean it will run well. My question is why would a person want to torture there engine like that when there are much better alternatives?

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Probably just wants to know if it would run at all … If the engine was warmed up enough it might run . I wouldn't try it . For one thing it wouldn't be practical , even if it did run . Lots of sugar is used in the making of white lightening whiskey that could be bad for the engine . . I only run mine on the best gasoline available at the time . I never try to use a substitute for gasoline in our model A's .

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Grandpa did, he even put some in the gas tank every now and then.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? You need more alcohol per volume of air to get the proper air/fuel ratio. Generally the jets in a carburetor designed for gasoline will be much too small. You can try to drill the jets out. Another problem might be cold weather starting.

Running straight alcohol with a stock jetted carburetor will give you a very lean mixture.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Well, I guess maybe you boys are right. Cheaper if I stay with the Saudi made stuff.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? As I recall alcohol carbs do not have a choke and they have larger jets.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Not a real accurate statement about oil from Saudi Arabia. United States is close to 90% self sufficient with most of import oil coming from Canada !

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? Correct but that number is a small part of the 10 %.United States has come a long way to self sufficiency and depends far more on our northern neighbor than we do Saudi Arabia.

Re: Can I run my A on White Lightning Moonshine? I think this goes back to that urban myth that if said grandpa ran out of gas on Saturday night he just poured in whiskey and got home. Just don't tell grandma.
