Converting a gasoline vehicle to run on E85 Ethanol is not as simple as some kit vendors would have you believe.

I have to agree with the dislikes, this is truly crap. Ethanol doesn't need new fuel pumps, gas tanks, fuel lines, fuel injectors, valve's, cylinder heads, and anything else. It will actually clean up the engine since ethanol is a solvent and will clean out everything MW showed. The only differences to a flex fuel vehicle is how long the injectors stay open for, upgraded fuel injectors can be used and be more efficient, but they don't need to be. Please do your research by yourself, not GM.

Hi, I'm running a Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 in Thailand - it is designed to run on E20 fuel - surely lots of the things in the video are already in my car, does anyone know?

u can run a lot higher compression with e85 or even better 100% ethanol with 115 octane = higher effective running engine and better gas mileage. all of the motors now are 8 to 1 or 9 to1 compression ratio just think if we all had 14to1 compression witch would be possible with ethanol we would have better ethanol mileage high horse power and less computers and junk in the engine bay easier to fix your own vehicle. but then the manufactures would not make as much money so keep screwing us.

Running E85 in my Volvo 960 with only bigger injectors and raised fuel pressure. GM just likes to make things complicated.

Please, don't believe what GM said they are the one who dismantle our trolleys in the early days of L.A. coincide with the oil company. Now we have a jam pack of cars here........"What is good for GM is good for America" B.S.
