I live in a small town in south central wisconsin and a mile out of town there's an ethonal plant, i've done some searches on the web and there are coversion kits out there for newer cars, they convert your car/truck to run on
E85 (85% ethonal and 15% gas) it's basicly moonshine made from corn with some gas added, some of the sites were also selling small stills that you could use to make your own E85 fuel, but you needed to get a permit from the ATF before you could start making E85, wondered if anyone tried running it in a carburated engine, from what i've heard it dosen't burn as hot as normal gas, I'm thinking a guy might have to run higher compression maybe change jets in the carb, play with the timing ect.. and you might get it to run fine? the ethonal plant dosen't sell the fuel right there, i'd have to drive a half hour to get it from a gas station, i also heard it cleans out the fuel system pretty good, might have an effect on rubber/plastic parts, gastkets in carb?
