I forgot to inform Flextek will work in most _*injected*_ engines

Flextek can be used in most repeat in _*most*_ engines not all of
them. Instead increasing compression ratio it changes ignition timing.
Potential problems are fuel pump "erosion" type unless changed to
typical alcohol fuel pump and winter time ignition. This part is
solved by using a small reservoir of gasoline using an small electric
pump like the one used to flush water to clean the windshield. Most of
the elastomer are compatible with alcohol so low probability in having
problems in here.
Very best for all of us.

Robert,
I have seen several people mention E 100 on this list lately. I
personally want to buy a diesel and produce bio diesel, but I drive
EFI gasoline cars right now. The flextek device offers great
promise for me to "do my part" now without waiting until I buy my
Jetta.
That's the promise. I don't know if the technology will deliver,
but it seems like an elegant solution to the problem of modifying EFI
engines to run on ethanol. Personally, I would still boost the
compression ratio or run forced induction, as I do with my truck.
There's no sense in running 105 octane fuel in an engine designed for
low grade pump gas. Nonetheless, the Flextek system should work on
an engine that is unmodified.
My question is, where do you get E100. Is this available at the
pumps, or is it something you would need to get elsewhere. A city
about 45 miles from where I live just got E85, but I have heard
nothing of E100. If I have the choice, I can just fill up on E85
every time I go there (usually about 1-2 times/week.)
Fuel stations in Brasil have been selling E 100 for many years
now, but that would be a long way for you and I to drive for a fill
up, don't you think? E 85, which is available in some American
states, is likely your best option, unless you want to get a BATF
permit and distill your own ethanol.
I wish I could do that here in Canada!
