Something that would make ecologists happy is a clean airplane. And the Ipanema, Brazil' s first totally alcohol-powered aircraft, is almost off the ground. The project has been in development for two years, under the wing of Neiva, a division of the aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Brazil' s largest agricultural aircraft manufacturer. The Ipanema does not pollute because, unlike conventionally fuelled engines, its alcohol-fuelled engine releases no lead residues into the atmosphere. However, for farmers, the real advantage is low operating cost. "Alcohol is four times less expensive than regular aviation fuel. So, while the alcohol engine consumes a little more fuel, just like automobiles, the bottom line is a savings of about 60 percent"... The alcohol-fuelled engine also boasts five percent more power. This slight advantage will allow the plane to carry extra quantities of crop-dusting products. Another advantage is that this type of engine runs cooler, giving it a longer maintenance cycle and useful life... The aircraft is still in the approval process, so the first alcohol-powered Ipanema will not fly until March 2005, after it has been completely certified.  1, record 12, English, - alcohol%20aircraft

Methanol alcohol is used as a winter treatment for automobile gasoline-so called "fuel line antifreeze". Actually, it's not an antifreeze at all in the sense that it doesn’t prevent the water in your gas tank from freezing. Since water won’t mix with gasoline and rolls around on the bottom of your tank it freezes in winter. If it gets in your fuel line it will cause fuel line freeze-ups. Water dissolves in alcohol, and alcohol dissolves in gasoline and it is in this way that your tank is purged of water.  5, record 13, English, - fuel%20line%20antifreeze
