you can check to see if your car will run e85 @ wwwe85fuel.comAngela Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:



Does anyone know if anything has to be done to the fuel system if you're planning on running E-85 in your vehicle? I have heard conflicting stories. I have a 2001 Chevy Impala that I would fill up with E85. I've been using 10% Ethanol with no problems.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[Biofuel] trying to learn to make biodiesel

2005-09-12 Thread kent snyder

have tried 2 batches in a blender. think I've got both results the same. paying closer attention the second time. using new corn oil w/red devil lye and dry gas for methanol in a blender. my results are at first 2 very thin layers on top. the top layera darker brown, the second layer is clear, the third layer is more than 3/4 the total and is a light brown, and then a dark brown on bottom. I'm unsure of the top 2 layers the first time i think they disappeared. maybe by getting bupped around. the top thin darker layer maybe just the edge of the liquid clinging to the side and appears darker, except the layer under it is clear. anyhow i did a quality test on my fist batch with a 1 liter bottle filled with 250ml of water and 250ml of what i though was bio diesel and shuck it up and 24 hrs later it had still not separated. when i did this test i did not notice the top 2 thin layers that i talked about but they may have been there. i am thinking my methanol is not
 good methanol but have no idea whats going on. any help would be appreciated
