Re: [T3] Ethanol in Gas


trust me there is more needed than just that to run
any alcohol based fuel.

if you run carbs you need special internals for the
carbs and you need a stainless steel or plastic gas
tank and stainless steel fuel lines as alcohol will
corrode conventional steel and will erode certain
types of commonly used rubber

other than that alcohol is a wonderful fuel.  it has a
way higher octane rating than gasoline and burns much
cleaner.   it also burns with no visible flame which
could pose problems in a fire.

if you wanted to run alcohol in a VW im sure it could
be done.  you would need to modify your carbs and
replace all your fuel lines with alcohol compatible
fuel lines.  i doubt you could make a VW into an FFV though
