Instead increasing compression ratio it changes ignition timing.
I think, perhaps, a language issue is cropping up here. The Flextek
device plugs into the automobile's fuel injector harness. It modifies
the length of the injection pulse, not the ignition timing, which
refers to the crankshaft angle when spark is delivered to the
cylinder. I mentioned increasing compression pressure, though doing
so isn't recommended in the Flextek promotional literature, merely
because it makes thermodynamic sense to do so. Ethanol tolerates high
compression pressures far better than gasoline. The fuel I run in my
truck right now costs about $1.10 per liter. I can't run low grade
gasoline in my vehicle, but ethanol would work very well. The engine
would burn cleaner and run cooler than it does at present.
Potential problems are fuel pump "erosion" type unless changed to
typical alcohol fuel pump and winter time ignition.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're writing here. I
believe you're telling me that potential problems exist with the fuel
pump, perhaps because of parts compatibility with ethanol. Most fuel
systems with which I am familiar constantly circulate fuel between the
tank and the injector system, so additional wear on the pump should
not be an issue. If I'm in error, please let me know.
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.
This is a solution to cold weather starting issues.
Most of the
elastomer are compatible with alcohol so low probability in having
problems in here.
This is why you've given the caveat that MOST modern gasoline engines
will work with ethanol.
