I'm stuck on this last tiddler.

8d Biofuel makes this alcoholic ejaculation up with regular additives (4)

E?O?

I'm working on ETOH as an alcoholic biofuel, but can't get it to fit the clue.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like it could be EIOO - hidden in the clue backwards - alternate letters.
Not sure , but.perhaps ..ejaculation = OH
MTBE is an additive.. regularly TE , and up = ET
to give ETOH

Ummm.... seems a little too convoluted. But thanks for the reply, I've got a fortnight to ponder this last clue !

Meanwhile, I'll start on The Guardian Monthly.

I agree .. Good luck, anyway !
Have to agree with Slaney -OH is chemical nomenclature for the functional group of an alcohol, E is the prefix for additives E (this)-OH = ETOH
Euoi. Anagram without the BFL.
Sorry. Not an anagram, just reading IOUE upwards.
Yes it's "EUOI" which is defined in chambers as "A Bacchic frenzy"

If you've subscribed to this thread Muffet and are " still about " , I think that what stumped me was the fact that the clue broke the normal Ximenean rules,

instead of being clue DEFINITION or DEFINITION clue, it was

clue DEFINITION clue, which makes it difficult to see what you're looking for.

Thanks again for your input.
As an alcoholic biofuel, ethanol has several advantages over traditional fossil fuels. For example, it is a renewable resource that can be produced domestically, which reduces dependence on foreign oil. It is also a cleaner-burning fuel that produces fewer harmful emissions than gasoline or diesel. In addition, ethanol can be blended with gasoline in varying percentages, which can increase the octane rating and reduce the carbon footprint of the fuel.

However, there are also some challenges associated with using ethanol as a biofuel, such as the high cost of production, limited availability of biomass feedstocks, and concerns about the impact of ethanol production on food prices and land use.
