Section 836 in Rules under the United Provinces Excise Act, 1910
836.
During the War, power alcohol known as a fuel alcohol was used for propelling heavy vehicles. Fuel alcohol as such was, however, found to cause damage to lighter vehicles. The presence of moisture, hindered satisfactory working of machinery, attempts were, therefore, made to remove the last traces of water from alcohol by using benzene as a dehydrating agent. Such dehydrated alcohol, after being blended with petrol, worked satisfactorily as motive power in lighter vehicles also.
