Default Bioethanol

Sounds like a good idea made from wheat and grain. Higher ron than unleaded and so should be great for turbo cars. Anyone know what you have to do to your motor so it can run on it? Morrisons store in Norwich is to be the first to have this fuel on the forecourts.

Is this the superfuel we have all been waiting for? Some are saying 104 Ron. Some are saying 20% more power. Some are saying less carbon monoxide. We could be throwing away our cats if you haven't done so already. Where's the catch? Have a look at the other threads on the site and also other articles on the web. It may not be as good as it seems.

Best to read the above link before going any further .
Bioethanol E85 fuel is only suitable for a. vehicles adapted to run which means b. will only be todays newest vehicles.
I know for a fact that Ford have only just released their Focus and C-Max models capable of running on this type of fuel ( in this country, I believe sweden have been using it for some time ) so that gives an indication of how recent this has come to market.
It's not worth the risk in any Scooby in my opinion, but hey there is always someone out there who will try to prove the critics wrong .

Mark.
