How would the vehicle need to be altered to suit ethanol? (from a normal car)

For more than 15%, mostly seals, hoses, and injectors.

Depends on how big a blend. most carts will run up to 15% with no modification at all.
Most of the major vehicle manufacturers already have engines that will run 100% ethanoel. These have been on sale in Brazil for years
