So lets say I wanted to make apple flavored car fuel. If I were able to distill fermented sugar water into roughly 60% ethanol could I just pour apple juice into it until it reached 40% and then let me car run on "apple pie" fuel?

Sorry if I am breaking any rules with this post or if I put this in the wrong place.
I will accept a publish 30 lashings.

I could be wrong but i think engines have issues with anything less than 190 proof and getting over 95% pureness in ethanol cannot be done by normal methods of distillation.

That being said....perhaps you should take 100-proof vodka and mix it with apple juice to see if your `motor` likes the taste.
 
It's a model t that I inherited from my great great grandaddy it runs on anything stronger than a four loko, don't look it up just trust me.
 
We dont know much about this stuff on this forum. But I do occasionally work on cars. Personally, my car runs better if I dont use straight apple juice. Do small experiments by mixing your apple juice with RO water before diluting the petrol. Start out 25% apple/75% water. Then run it through the pipe and make adjustments based on your impressions.
