RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85
hello everybody.
I´m from Brazil, and since OS lauched its new ethanol engine, we are very interested in converting our engines. Here we have ethanol in every gas station since 1978. the first ethanol moved vehicle produced in large scale was a fiat 147, then VW beetle... in 80´s, 85% of brazilian engines was burning ethanol...it means that this fuel here is very cheap. We have a sort of domestic ethanol with 98% of alcohol volume and 2% of water. our commercial ethanol fuel have 7% of water and no gas. Great! Wy we are still using methanol? I really don´t know.... two friends in our community in orkut got the os AX-BE engine and the BE3 glow plug, but they are doing the breakin in the engines now...not much information comes from those guys...I got many hints here, thanks, in this week we shall start our experiments.....sorry by my english.....wish us luck....bye
