why alchohol cant be used as a fuel in diesel engne?

Answer Posted / mr sas

It can be used.
Infact it is superior fuel to gasoline.

Alcohols burn more completely then petroleum based fuels, thus increasing combustion efficiency.
Advantages of mixing alcohol with gasoline are that alcohol tends to increase the octane rating and reduce carbon monoxide and other tailpipe emissions.

There are many disadvantages to using alcohols, particularly methyl and ethyl alcohol.
Alcohols may corrode certain materials used in engines.

Although these alcohols, when used near their stoichiometric air-fuel ratios, produce more power
