E85

[santa]

Well, I was reading a bit on this thread and noticed everyone thinking its possible to run it in your dsm... good luck!! E85 is obviously 85%ethonol and 15%gas. Your vehical that you run it in has to be FF approved...Flexible Fuel. They run different line, pumps, injector's because of the ethonol content and what it does to standard fuel vehicals. Yes the octane is higher and blah blah blah but what no one stated that it burns a high amount of fermeldihide which is also a dangerous gas.

Formaldehyde is really only a problem in vehicles that run on methanol and its nothing that a catalytic converter can't handle.Many ethanol test vehicles and OEM FFV vehicles make less formaldehyde.Anyway, most other pollutants are decreased running ethanol, so its still much better for the environmnent than gas.An slight increase in one or two harmful emissions for a decrease in a handful of others, is a worthy trade-off if you ask me.

I was just thinking about E85 and have been looking around at converting and found these interesting pages.
