E85?
 

I just about flipped out when I looked at the pumps, and the price was $1.80... Then realized this was E-85, and we were in my moms 04 grand prix (not capibal according to their list at www.e85fuel.com ) I noticed that their list only goes back to around 1999 vehicals. Can I run this in my 76 300d, with the 617OM? This stuff comes out of my backyard (Wisconsin farmers produce alot of Ethonal, NOT the opce:pukeface: )

So can I run this in the benz without hurting it? In blends? Or should I not use it unless its an emergancy, and should expect expensive repairs would result (does it eat fuel lines?)

Bacicly I'm asking what everybody knows about e85... AND I might save somebody a buck or two a gallon IF they got a capibal vehical...

Thanks alot

E85 is 85% ethanol.....or alcohol....no you can't run it in your diesel....

Don't think even in blends...

It would make a great blend if you were running wvo. 10% E85 and 10% RUG and 80% wvo would be a great mixture.

E85 doesn't have the same energy content as gas, so there is a small penalty in economy. It is also very hygroscopic, meaning that it will absorb water readily. Multi-fuel cars change engine parameters when it is used.

It actually costs more than gas to make, but there is a huge tax incentive to sell it.

I sometimes wonder if they add 15% gas to it so folks won't buy it to drink. Imagine, grain alcohol for $1.80 a gallon!

yeah, what a shame it would be:computer:
Ok, so I guess I wont try it mixed with SDO
