Re: [Biofuel] Anyone know if I can run 15% ethanol in an Isuzu 2.64banger?

Hello Mike.
You could run your gasoline vehicle on 15% methanol, BUT the methanol is
quite aggressive and may cause corrosion in your fuel system quite rapidly.
If your car is equipped with a carburettor, you should adjust the CO exhaust
value, when running on methanol/gasoline, according to the stated min value
by the manufacturer in order to avoid that the fuel/air mixture becomes too
lean. If that is not possible, do not use the methanol for fuel.
You will notice a clear increase in fuel consumption.
Methanol has a clear tendency of forming acid compounds during engine
warm-up. These compounds will attack the lubricating oil layers in your
engine. You may expect twice the wear compared to running on pure gasoline
(or even ethanol for that matter). Please let me know how you intend to
proceed.
Good luck !

Yikes.

After that I plan to run in the opposite direction.  I have and 88 gas 
Trooper I use to haul WVO and crap.  It's EFI.

Thanks for the info!
