You don't have to raise the compression to run ethanol but you can if you
want to. You can run a higher compression ratio using ethanol especially if
your engine has an aluminum head.
What are the advantages for higher compression? simply more power or, as
someone stated, better mileage?

My car is not a FFV (flexible fuel vehicle) and I was wondering if anyone
knows on a Fuel Injected engine what the modifications would be in order to
make it run on E-85.

I don't think the 90/10 is considered gasohol.. rather it is considered

I remember hearing years ago about farmers being "paid" not to farm. I'm
sure I'm oversimplifying in my ignorance, but I'm wondering if we still do
that. If so, why couldn't they be instructed to grow corn or something for
use in ethanol?
If anyone can explain to me why I'm wrong or right, I'd ap

how about easiest?
Ethanol. I don't have any idea what a deisel conversion would entail...if
it's even possible. Ethanol can be used in any engine that runs gas with a
few mods.

a 2 stroke cycle engine right? best for diesel conversion?
I don't think so... I think a simple Ethanol/Methanol conversion would be
best. and run castor oil in the injector system. Petroleum free! :)

But you need motor conversion, instead of fuel conversion.
So, biodiesel it«s the intermediate solution nowadays ( in the futura, we
will buy more ecological cars - electrical ).
The motor conversion is minor, especially on a motorcycle...

Dion,
Do you have an accurate compositional analysis for prickly pears?
Also are you talking about the fruit itself here or the whole plant? Ideally
the fruit/plant would need to contain at least 50% of carbohydrate
