Default RE: Conversion to Gas?


Hi,

I have just revisited this thread after a week or so and am amazed about the post by Mother of Invention regarding the use of E85. ( that's not to say that all the other posts haven't been informative and helpful ...they have and thanks very much )

I have not heard of this fuel E85. I guess that it may be Petrol with 85% ethanol ?? Is this it ?

I don't know for sure if we can get this mix here in Australia ? ( We have 10% Ethanol at Petrol Stations ... so far ? ) However, it may be available and if so I would like to know if anyone else knows of this and how well it works ?

This would certainly be the easiest "conversion" ever if all you have to do is change to this fuel, use an OS F plug and adjust the oil as you have stated.

M of Invention, does the ST 45000 give the same power as on glow fuel ?.... don't you have to change the fuel tubing ? ...... Do you run exhaust pressure ??

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Merlin Man.
