When we rebuilt 25 Chevy Love pickups back in the early 80's to run on E 85
we had to take the carbs off have then nickel plated then bored out all the
jet to almost twice the size. change the fuel tank from 10 Gallons to 40 and
put in a different fuel pump that could take the corrosive action of the
fuel.
Its not a simple change over and these engines ran terrible on the stuff. 5
to 6 MPG because of the lower compression ratios.
I understand that the newer mods will get better fuel mileage but if you
have to run 15 percent gasoline then what are you saving. The Feds require the
15 percent gasoline for safety purposes.
