    You really need to get the book "Alcohol Can Be A Gas" by David
Blume. http://www.permaculture.com   It has all the info you need, both
about feedstocks and building and operating stills, and converting engines.
    This book is a must have for every permaculturist, or anybody
interested in energy independence.
