It may be me missing how this whole thing works but in your slide bar the chain it say the ZF has to be decomposed before used as fuel - are you saying that happens in the car's gas tank or at the gas station or at a refinery? Also I'm intrigued as to what parts need to be added, removed or modified in a retrofit generically speaking like fuel pump, fuel lines, filters, ecu, intake control ecu, intake manifold, exhaust.

You say E85 is not accepted but I can think of at least 6 OEs that have cars in the mass market right now running it and that produces a great reduction in well-to-wheel 'interference'. Granted CNG is non-sustainable but it can be used as a stop gap till other renewables are found - much in the way you're using Stranded NG.

You're also stating EV have there hang-ups - again the pace of development is such that I can name OEs that have EV ready or in final trials for market that have practical ability and range.

As this is the only place I have seen your fuel mentioned how are you planning to capture the publics attention for you fuel? or will this be left to the OEs once they've took it on board?

If you're not expecting 5-10k vehicles to be retorfitted can I ask what you're target market is? because like CNG/LPG/BIO/E-XX I believe you need to prove the fuel has a mass market ability prior to OEs seriously considering it. Because it is one HUGE sell you're aiming for as far as I can see (please correct me if I've got this wrong) but you want OEs, most of which are coughing there last to take an existing engine within there range, restructure the fuelling system for your fuel, the internals for High compression, the materials for reliability in high octane explosions, test, evaluate and make production viable even though there are no companies on-board as far as can see from the other side of the pond, to sell the fuel to motorists. You also therefore have to sell it to fuel companies or some one with an infrastructure who can supply a need for the fuel. Depending on modifications I'm guessing it may have to be admissable to the car owner's insurer, so they will have to know and understand the technology otherwise they may refuse to insure/charge huge fees on retro fitted cars. You are asking all of this plus stuff I probably haven't even mentioned on the back of a website, a pdf and without a working prototype?
yes I know the Dutch, Flemish and Germans used it in the war era but it has been dropped since, if I remember correctly due to the lack of burn lubrication causing reliability issues??? can't remember fully, but i'm sure that'll show up in testing if its a real problem.

I'm sorry this sounds hugely negative, but as an engineer I'm naturally sceptical until I have sufficient info to hand! Don't get me wrong I love the idea of an enert fuel that can power existing engines and make them practically ZE
