SignUp Now!You're right. E85 has a nastier smell to it.Donnie,
Are you getting biodiesel confused with E85? French fries.....nothing to do with E85! Were you racing the Oldsmobile Cutlas that has a Duramax diesel under the hood?

I do not know how long it will be before they are available but Delphi has been testing heated fuel injectors. In Brazil where Hydrous E100 (no gas but 5% water) is used I suspect these will take off quickly. Here in the USA where we have anhydrous (dry) ethanol mixed with up to 30% gas for cold start the perceived need is less and govt inhibits fast adaptation. That said however- there may be movement to adapt these to improve cold start/ warm-up period emissions by reducing overfueling and ignitability. Fuel rail electric heaters are another way to skin this cat but need longer on-time pre-start (injector heaters are only approx 1-2 sec).
Of course it does. It runs on rum.My wife says my car smells like a lush....
if you do the proper mods to the fuel system does e85 produce more HP and TORQUE than 94 and alky on a 600 hp plus motor
I don't have any specific HP/dyno numbers but I can tell you that there's 1 HA car that's still a HA and it's running E-85. So far her (yes it's a lady) has gone into the 10's and no intercooler has ever been used on it. Turbo6x2 is her board name and her name is Jamie.E85= Performance….How much? I have read several threads about the performance gains but no numbers. Does anyone have dyno results before and after?
