Alcoholic fermentation didn't change too much through time. BTW is it also outlawed to make craft beer at home in Sweden?

If i had time to do something like that it would be used to collect and filter WVO instead.
If you could do both the WVO collection and filtering and some experiences with alcohol it would be great. Well, it would be quite interesting to say the least if Sweden shifted from E85 to straight hydrated ethanol (E96h) used in Brazil, and such transition might not be too bad nowadays that flexfuel cars in Brazil resort to heated injectors when fitted with port-injection, while direct injection usually doesn't require any starting aid. Well, as a last resource something analogue to the grid-heater used in some heavy-duty Diesel engines could also serve well to a port-injection flexfuel instead of either a supplemental gasoline tank for cold starts (widely used in older dedicated-ethanol and early Brazilian flexfuel cars) or heated injectors. A small-volume Volkswagen-based minicar from the '80s named Dacon 828 resorted to a glowplug out of the Volkswagen EA827 1.6L IDI Diesel as a makeshift intake heater as a cold start aid for the ethanol-powered engine.
