hay boys, i did a search on this on the site and didnt really find out much info at all. and ive done a google search and didnt really get the answer's that i wanted either.

ive been hearing about this e85 fuel that america has been using for 10 years now and i hear that its going to come to out pumps in the future. thats how they get away with running 2000hp rigs on the street.

ive also heard that its got more octane then c16, round 160% and e85 is about 60% methanol, and its going to be cheaper then our normal 98% fuel we have at our pump nows. allllllllso been told that all new cars being made from the beginning of this year have been set up for this fuel as its cleaner then to burn into the atmosphere so thats why the goverment is pushed for it.

can anyone confirm this with any links to other websites?

cause if this is true, we can now get a cheap race fuel on tap, but our fuel systems will need a upgrade to take the mix of strong liquids in the fuel, rule lines are to be changed, fuel pumps, much bigger injectors as they will be squirting much more fuel.

ok stay safe.

Unless you live next door to a servo that sells E85 it's a waste of time (at present).

I have sized the entire fuel system on the race Z for E85.

Planning to take a 44 gallon drum to the United station to get the fuel. Word is that the octane rating is 110+ and many engines can be advanced past Bottom dead centre without detonation.

AND ITS CHEAP. :)

Sounds like a winner to me.
