When Henry Ford designed the Model T it was designed to run on alchohol. You would buy your fuel at the pharmacy. Just after that the big oil boom started and they invented gasoline so Ford changed it to a gas engine.

That is really interesting. If you have a link to a good article I’d love to get it.

Really?

How did they get around the vapor lock issue? Because it is major pain the rear with the A and you can run just about any fuel in an A.

I really wonder how will it would have worked. I wonder if anyone has actually tried running pure ethanol in their T.
