So, please... Tell us how it went down. Carburettor-engines are a bit trickier to covert to E85 because they don't have a computerised adjustment of the fuel/air ratio. It needs to change from 14:1 to ~9:1. Change needle. With a fuel-injected car, the ECU takes care of most of that. CelicaE85 increased the fuel-pressure a bit to help squeeze more fuel through the injectors, and while that doesn't fully compensate for the increased need for fuel, it certainly helps the ECU adjust.

they have to be set up properly too.
Turbo cars have nothing to do with being able to run on propone or ethanol, the only difference between NA's and A's is that obvs one has a turbo. or supercharger.. they need to be tuned.
and yeah it probs can if it has a carby, wouldnt have a fuel sensor. or any of that these injected cars do..

@EJracerboy15 well i have seen some newer cars tuned to run on it and old chevy 350 can run on propane

@Projectdie Lmfaoo dude its km/h not mph
-
is that a turbo because turbo cars can run on propane and ethonol

you dont have to change anything to do this all you have to do is slowly mix in e85 and let computer learn.

I've been blending E85 in my 99 Taurus for about a year now and have had no problems. Its not one of the ones made for flex fuel. This week I put in 8 gallons of E85 and the balance is mid-grade gas.
No check engine light, no hard starting problem. A quick calculation of percentage would show I'm running about an E-40 blend overall.

How did you convert the motor? Changing fuel system parts?
e 85 it is 85% ethanol 15% gas
87 octane is only 10% ethanol there is a big difference
to every one that must make fun of him don't do it here just know in you heart that he will brake his car and have no clue how to fix it and daddy will by a new one for him

thank you sir for not giving money to towel heads. now...i have seen some odd comments, turbo aid propane combustion? you can run propane in any vehicle as a catalyst or standalone fuel, a line from tank to intake with a fuel pump shutoff, a solenoid that read throttle position done. the issue with e85 is that the car needs to adapt to the lower btu rating, needs to know how to change timing, and increase injector on time/or fuel pressure. some vehicle adapt better than others.
