Frequently Asked Questions
E-Fuel MicroFuelerTM
How does the process work?
Production of the much cleaner and more efficient ethanol fuel is accomplished by pouring GreenHouse feedstock, comprised of sugar, brewery waste, compost or carbohydrates (plant fiber), into the E-fuel MicroFueler. The MicroFueler then distills the waste into water and liquid ethanol.
Is it easy to install a MicroFueler at my home or business?

Ethanol
Gasoline is history
Introducing E-Fuel’s MicroFueler™, earth’s first home organic fuel processing system. Set-up involves placing it on a level surface and connecting it to a source of water, power, and wastewater disposal, just like a washing machine. The MicroFueler consists of 2 main components:
- the distillation/pumping unit
- the organic fuel (feedstock) tank.
Up to 4 feedstock tanks may be connected to each pumping unit to achieve high volume continuous E-Fuel100 production.
Good for the engine; good for the environment
The partners of Green House, John Galt and Chris Ursitti, have performed a field test of the 129 high-octane EFuel100™ in their own vehicles. Specifically, a Mercedes GL and Toyota Tundra were test-driven with EFuel100™ in the tank. Both vehicles performed just as if they were running on regular gasoline, including similar performance and gas mileage, with two notable exceptions. Both vehicles ran at much cooler temperatures compared to running on regular gasoline, so much so that testers were able to place their hands on the manifold while the engine was running. EFuel100™ also produces 85% fewer emissions in comparison to regular gasoline.
Some quick facts about ethanol
- On average, ethanol is about 117 octane; you can't even get "super unleaded" that high
- Ethanol has a much lower compression / combustion temperature than gasoline, allowing your engine to run much cooler, increasing the lifespan of your vehicle
- There are over half a million flex-fuel vehicles in the state of California alone; the problem is that is is nigh impossible to find an ethanol fueling station -- this is solved when you can fuel your car, truck, boat, lawnmower, or other fuel-consuming apparatus right out of your garage
