what i'm looking for is a fuel alternative, and alcohol is only at 2/gal right now. that's going to be about half the price by the end of the week. if i don't have to do much i'd like to run alcohol. there are many benefits to doing this, just a few: runs cooler, burns cleaner, doesnt detonate, cheaper...just for a few pluses.
any way, what needs to be done to run alcohol? fuel filter change? pump change? timing changes? injector changes? ECM changes? |

i'll try the mixture of 2.5oz per 13 galons in my honda. they have the same size gas tank and are both emissions legal, so it will be the experimental vehicle.
they also talked of having some other GUNK additives as well, so i may try and mix it with them first, then add them both together in the tank. something about the acetone being a carrier or delivery system for the other chemicals. any way, gimme about 2 weeks with just acetone and i'll tell you how it works out |
