Run your car on vodka!

Old news boy, been doing that with my Skoda PickUp since June last year.......

Converted my Skoda PickUp fitted with a 1.3l MPI injected motor by fitting an adjustable fuel pressure regulator on the return line from the injection and set it at 4bar, this overrides the stock set at 2bar, a set of Irridium pluggs and a K&N air filter. The car runns on 100% E85 as it's called here in Sweden and I can fill up at some 70% of all gas stations over here. The milage went from 0.65L/10km to 0.99L/10km (thats how we calculate milage over here) but calculating with 95octane cost 11.95SEK / Liter and E85 cost 7.50SEK / Liter I'm saving a bunch. Only problem is when it's real cold it's a curse word to start, during the coldest times of winter I add 10% gasoline and that cures it all....

The car feels a bit more powerfull and runs alot cooler but otherwise it's like when it runns on gas, 150-160kph topspeed and just humming along....

Rather drink the vodka, and burn the fuel. Don't like drinking petrol.

Petrol makes Lewis sick

Cool tho all the same ;D spec if it's cheaper.

Saab just released the 9-5 Biopower over here this year.
But unfortunatley we don't have an E85 pumps yet. best we have are a few (and very few) Biodiesel pumps (chemically refined reclaimed veg oil).
Tesco does put 5% Ethanol in it's super unleaded though as an Octane booster.

Here in Sweden E85 conversions and new Etanol Cars from Ford, Volvo & Saab are getting verry big, best selling car in Nov & Dec 05 was the Focus Bi-Fuel. There's a forum www.etanol.nu for conversions and by the amount of cars beeing converted the trend is HUGE!!! Most gas stations have an E85 pump over here and there's even signs by the major roads where it says if the gas station has E85....

A couple of major Hot Rod builders here in Sweden that I have talked to are also building Rods to run on E85, cheaper but most of all the motor is running at a much lower temp and therefore need a smaller radiator, when building Hot Rods it's nice to be able to cut down the size of the rad and slimmimg up the front on the car. MCM a big Custom & Chopper Magazine here in Sweden is right now building a "project bike" in 70's Bay Area Lowrider Look and including some new stuff like a Triumph 3-cylinder motor fitted with a Supercharger and to be able to slim down the radiator they will run it on E85 so this is the "next big thing" among Rod & Custom builders I predict.....
