Ethanol, an alcohol fuel, is an important fuel for the operation of internal combustion engines that are used in cars, trucks, and other kinds of machinery. 1  Ethanol was first isolated from wine in approximately 1100 and was found to burn shortly thereafter. Ethanol production rises to the 4-billion-US-gallon (15,000,000 m 3) level. 2  Between 1997 and 2002, three million U.S. cars and light trucks are produced which could run on E85, a blend of 85% ethanol with 15% gasoline.
1896 Henry Ford built his first automobile, the quadricycle, to run on pure ethanol. 1920's Standard Oil began adding ethanol to gasoline to increase octane and reduce engine knocking. 1908 The first Ford Motor Company automobile, Henry Ford's Model T, was designed to use corn alcohol, called ethanol. The Model T ran on (ethanol) alcohol, fuel or a combination of the two fuels.
