someone using ethanol e-85 on intrigue?
Someone knows if the Intrigue 1998 - 3800 engine is ethanol use reasy or you need to make some modifications to the engine?
I found an article about a guy in Iowa or Idaho that converted his 1990 Buick to ethanol and was brewing his own mixture. |

alot of us are already using ethanol blends. I think the regular gas in WI uses 5-15% ethanol. Something to be concerned about if your gas lines are rubber (ethanol will eat rubber) or drive an older car. http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/progs/tvwb/tvwb.cgi to get performance out of E85, you really need to design an engine to run on it well. Need higher compression ratios etc. If you had a race type 12.5:1 (or higher) compression engine, E85 would serve it well. Maybe try it out in a dirt bike or simple single cylinder engine first. You could try some ethanol blending like 15-30 ethanol and the rest gas in performance carbed engine and see if you like it. Last edited by panzer dragoon; 09-23-2005 at 09:01 PM. |
