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? |
