98 Jeep Wrangler and E85 fuel
Anyone out there done the fuel system conversion for this or know if its even possible? If so please let me know what elements have to be changed. Thanks. |

Buy a car that's compatible using twice the fuel for half the energy:

Alchol is "O H" based for it can be corrosive to your fuel system and also hard on some hoses. Also as stated before it has less energy per gallon (about 40% for E85) si you will just more fuel too. Politicians push E85 as our magic solution to our energy needs when it is not and it actually increase CO2 emissions by about 40 to 50% too. This is because Alchol is considered a preburnt fuel (has a high carbon content) and you have to burn more of it to get same work and net result is more CO2. The public wants to here that this is a solution so it keeps the masses thinking that there is a solution. Also, if you live in a really cold climate, E85 can be harder starting and really get bad MPG during those times too. Bite the bullet and stay with gas and maybe try running 89 for a while as you might find it is actually a bit cheaper in long run if MPG improves. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

There are companies out there making conversion kits, add-on computers, etc. There are even some on Ebay now. Of course a lot of these companies are claiming improve mileage, reduced emissions, etc. While all of this is possible, just remember, like any other product, there are quality items and junk items. I can believe the emissions claims much more easy than I believe the mileage claims, but I am sure as the technology grows, the mileage will get better. There is even a fuel they are calling diesanol now, which is 98% ethanol and 2% diesel. To me this would have more potential to reduce emissions and increase power since ethanol has a high octane rating and could take advantage of the compression ratio of a diesel engine. The drawback to E85 is that it requires more fuel to make the same amount of power if applied to the same engine. If the engine was specifically built for E85, there are a lot of changes that could be made to increase the power of the engine. the main one being the compression ratio. My suggestion is to do some research on the conversions, look for independent studies (such as colleges), an then weigh the cost of the conversion and a roughly 20-25% loss in fuel economy compared to just continuing to use gasoline.
