Abstract
The ignition of an aqueous ethanol fuel is essentially improved by using a water soluble adduct of a polyol having 3-10 hydroxyl groups and ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide, the molecular weight of the adduct being 350-10,000. The fuel is in the form of a solution and contains 70-96% by weight of ethanol, 2-10% by weight of water and 0.5-20% by weight of the ignition improving adduct.
