Hi Shane, What is ABV ?? Never have tried a hydrous ethanol fuel (hope to) but I tried a blend of about 20% ethanol and 80% gasoline in my lawn mower last year and the engine begin to over heat without modifications. Keith's website -- Ethanol and your car http://journeytoforever.org/ethanol_link.html#ethanolcar lists, How To Modify Your Car To Run On Alcohol Fuel In APPENDIX A Stoichiometric air/fuel ratio for Ethanol 9.01:1 Gasoline 14.96:1 would suggest my unmodified lawn mower engine using E-20 was running a bit lean explaining why it overheated I'd think. When using up to E-10 I haven't experienced any problems to my knowledge. Check your owners manual. The book also talks about other modifications. __________________________ Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
