I heard that the problem was tehm not using pure ethanol. They still had water in it. And acold start prolbems are interesting. Petro-Canada has been advertising gas with ethanol in it as anitfreeze for years.

"You want to start your car in cold weather ( I'm sure you get plenty of that in Vulcan, AB ),.......have the number for a towtruck handy !
Aside from that, your car is NOT suitable to run E 85."

Yep, but it's still averaging around 65 degrees F here. I live on a farm, and I"m sure I coudl find something to jump it off of.

If the car wasn't designed for it, I guess I might have to abandon this project. Would there be a flash available to change the timing??
