Maybe he is trying to run it on beans and corn oil.

<<Any internal combustion engine can run on "corn oil" right now, and have been able to for at least a decade but, the American public, including your union brothers, refuse to buy, and use it. I believe it's called methyl alcohol, but am not sure of the designation.>>

I run a 10% blend of methanol now. It cuts pollution in half and uses 10% less gas. Cars with fuel injection can run 85% ethanol which I have done when gas was over $1.50.

The 10% blend also stops freezing gas lines, which is more of a problem for me than you. BTW, the Indy 500 runs pure 100% methanol which is why you don't see any flames during a fire.
