E85?
« on: August 22, 2007, 02:22:41 PM »
Has anybody looked into running it in a jet boat? It supposed to be 105 octane , and cost the same as premium. I now you need to upgrade the fuel delivery system to withstand the corrosiveness , And it requires 15% more fuel for the regular amount of air.
I was just wondering if anybody has looked into it at all or if anybody has any comments on the whole idea.
I already have alcohol gaskets in my carbs , and I am already over carbureted. So I was thinking about trying it. Any ideas?
