I kind of think it's a dumb idea because of the lack of filling stations.
Maybe start with EFI not a carburator? I don,t know.
Any help/info would be appreciated. |
If I had an E85 station near me, I'd certainly try it.
Simply using E85 in a low compression engine would result in poor performance, but a high compression engine could take advantage of the E85 octane rating. I'd build the engine to be in the range of 12:1 or 13:1, and change the fuel line to clear snowmobile hose.
Parts are so cheap for these motors that it would be a fun and low-cost experiment.
