Eighty-five percent ethanol fuels non FFV for 100,000+ miles

The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) discusses the potential for increased ethanol blends beyond 10 percent through the study of E85 use in a non FFV conducted by Lake Area Technical Institute (LATI). The examination of a 2000 Chevy Tahoe driven on E85 for 100,000+ miles yields surprising results supporting ethanol as a clean-burning, high-octane fuel.

E85 is a very good fuel it never hurt my 2 cars and my 1994 chevy pickup. I converted my 1992 buick century 3 years ago plus a 1993 grand am. The 2 cars i own have the 3.3 v6 moter. Never Hurt the fuel lines or injecters. Never had anything go wrong with the 2 cars or the truck. So come on guys stop the bs about e85. I also run e85 in my demo derby cars and has good luck with it in the demo derbys.

Ethanol is not the silver BULLET. I sure wish it was.....But the reality is that it is just a piece of the puzzle that will help us become less dependent on fossil fuels. I have assisted in converting over 50,000 vehicles world wide to accept ethanol. When gasoline becomes the alternative fuel then I will have accomplished my goal. I encourage any disbelievers and any that beleive ethanol will melt your car to contact me. I will surely educate all on this myth

@greyflcn dude been running e 85 in all my internal cumbustion engines for 3 years now includeing 2 strokes not a single one has failed or leaked , increase fuel flow , advance timeing , increase spark, and open up plug gap and woohoo running sweet and clean 2000 ford Focus , 1982 Honda NU50 moped, lawn mower and we now get 2.3 btu for every 1 btu put in to produce e 85 and once we start powering the e 85 plants with geo thermal it will go up even more...

@jayguy173 you dont need a larger injector because your "stock" injectors in the car you drive run @ around 20% of max output...when you get a ethanol "tune" or "flash" for your "stock" computer it will turn the flow up on your injectors..the injectors in my car can hold up to 300rwhp and it came stock @ 215HP at the crank....

what about the plastic parts ????

[donajos3]

What about E25?  It seems that nobody does any research on E25 on non FFVs.

I think ethanol would be more widely accepted and would have put us on a better path to cleaner air if it could have become the standard when cars were first made. Now people want cars that don't use anything put electricity to run.

Technology is there to even put in free energy systems, how about building a car that runs on free energy that's been harvested using technology already conceived by Nikola Tesla

[popboarder]

can anyone of you jackasses that think that ethanol melts fuel lines and causes catastrophic disaster to your engine link a video like this one were it shows how ethanol will melt fuel lines. if you can not then I think the proof is in the pudding.

[jayguy173]

this is bullshit because you need larger injectors and a computer that works with them to run 85 percent ethonol since it uses higher air to fuel ratios and more fuel per hp.

so what has happened with your cars ?
