Joel: LOL ya have to remember the tanks are 1/4" steel pressure vessels so even a small tank weighs a ton!
Figgie: Don't ya mean more "infamous"
When I first converted my Supra LPG was around the 17c a litre mark!
Tell us more about the E85?

well
e85 is
85% ethanol with the other 15% being gasoline.
technically it has less K/Cal per gallon then gasoline but with the higher octane rating it can compensate with a leaner mixture and more advanced timing

thats funny i am building a honda civic, driven by a fuel cell ( actually several, but we just say fuel cell), so if you guys want pics i guess i can post, either way fuel cells are very efficient, output isnt that high tho.... either way, thats y i chose a civic....
Figgie: Impressions so far?
pros and cons?
Ever thought about a still and home made 85?
(Could talk to Lanky and the boys)

I will be running full methanol. BUt some of you knew that already
Fuel mileage? well, i will burn just over 2 gallons in one 1/4 mile pass, so that equates to, oh about 1/8th of a mile per gallon (under wot and full boost of course) :evil2:

supra90turbo said:MA has zero e85 filling stations
Ya none for us in all of New England, I think the closest is like Pennsylvania...I don't know much on this topic though. I'm learning more from every page of this thread lol.
Nick: Sort of hard to say at this point as the first conversion I added a whole 2nd fuel system to the car so it increased by about 300 Lbs once it was fueled up.
My fuel capacity even with just the LPG tank in this time is +20 litres so there's almost 50 lbs and the LPG tank is very thick material so minimum another 50>100 lbs.

i just looked up some locations on that site for e85. looks like the AFB i am on is getting it soon. that is sweet! i might convert when i find out the prices on it. considering its already at 3.21 here for only 92. :nono:
lol. it's true....
It must be SOOO confusing to get smoked by a car that smells like a gas grill.
