Highly concentrated alcohol *will* tend to absorb water from wherever it 
finds it,  including humidity from the atmosphere.  This is not necessarily a 
problem,  though.
Back when I had internet access I used to subscribe to a mailing list called 
DIY-EFI,  and it sure had some interesting discussions in it.  There were 
people in there who talked about such stuff as modifying the code in engine 
computers,  and such stuff...!
Anyhow,  there were some discussions in there about really pushing the 
performance of certain small engines,  and one of the things that went on in 
that discussion was talk about _deliberately_ adding water to the fuel mix in 
order to make the engine run cooler.
Just thought I'd toss that in there...
Anybody know if engines that run on Alcohol run cooler?
