Answer Posted / ponnukrishnan

Alcohol cant be used as fuel in diesel engines because

of the carburetor jet(s)
2)In addition to the carburetor jets, there is also the
problem of cold starting.
3)Alcohol has a higher latent heat of vaporization than
gasoline and requires more manifold heat to keep the mixture
in the vapor state.
4)The main problem is in the lubrication of the injectors.
