Hi Art and All,

and the adapter plates, coulpers are still for sale
used cheap if you look for them or you can make your
own. Fork lift motors, controllers and golf cart
batteries are best bet for a good low tech EV. Don't
use aircraft start

That's a pity, David. Thanks so much for trying and doing a good
thorough job of it. Any other ideas? What have we talked about -
lime, 3A zeolites, corn grits (troublesome, apparently). Zeolites

I'm looking at converting my 73 VW bug into an EV. Anyone know of plans or
a kit, or at least a good discussion of what it would take. It's a
learning-experience project. I would like to find a motor that would mate
to the current transaxle, if possible, but am open to other methods.

Following the series of postings about hydro-sorb and other hygroscopic

E85 is 93% the energy of gasoline (80460 btu/gallon, vs. 87000 btu/gallon)
so you will need about 13:1 vs 14:1 a/f. make sure you have ethanol rated
hoses and seals.
9:1 a/f is for neat ethanol (E100)
