Very nice article!

But I see that:
To use the E95 blend in the diesel engine, Scania raised the compression ratio from 18:1 to 28:1, added larger fuel injection nozzles, and altered the injection timing.

Different gaskets and filters are required, as well as larger fuel tanks—the engines burn 65% to 70% more ethanol than diesel.
I guess the fuel economy isn't there but they do have soma amazing pollution reduction figures!

Very good info!

-Thanks
