Abstract (en)
An aqueous solution consisting mainly of an essential oil ingredient and water is obtained by immersing chips of at least one kind of herb in hot water of 70-90 DEG C for about 30 minutes. This solution is added, either as it is or concentrated, to a lower alkanol. The resulting mixture is a fuel for internal combustion engines which is comparable to petrol, and far superior to pure alcohol in performance and in not causing corrosion. It can contain 30% of water. For example, a car fuelled with a mixture of methanol (78%), water (20.8%) and an extract (1.2%) achieved 3.41 km/l, whereas on pure methanol it achieved only 3.04 km/l.
