Re: [biofuel] Re: Converting to FFV
How or where(who) can convert my gas guzzler to run solely on alcohol and then switch over to gasoline? Are there any know problems with new cars that were converted to pure alcy? Thanks, David --- shawstafari [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia. I want to convert it to a Flex Fuel Vehicle(FFV). Which will use the E85 as well as normal gasoline. David, It is unfortunate that Toyota does not yet make FFVs available from the factory. Ford, GM, Isuzu and Mercedes do, but not Toyota. As far as converting your Sequoia (I always hated that they took our sacred tree and named a gas guzzler after it), you can convert it to run solely on ethanol, and than switch it back to gasoline when/if you need to. To make it flexible or dual fueled is a bit more involved (and less in some ways). That would require a fuel controller with enough capacity to hold data tables (for fuel/air mixture, timing, etc.) for all the different mixtures of gasoline and ethanol. Do such third-party controllers exist? What is the FFV controller like that comes stock from the dealer? Dave Shaw Yahoo!

Re: [biofuel] Re: Converting to FFV
I was talking to my friend at Anderson Performance here locally and we were basically discussing the jet metering that goes on in an FFV due to the viscosity sensor. He was ruminating about some of the other peices that will need to come together to get the whole conversion correct; re-chipped to allow for variable timing, etc ... On the surface it seems simple, but then the devil is in the details. James Slayden On Fri, 31 Oct 2003, shawstafari wrote: I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia.
