E85 Ethanol And Your Old Car

[adam eddy]

When you start asking questions about converting you American classic
cars to E85 ethanol, you'll hear a lot of people telling you that it
can't be done, because the alcohol will eat all the rubber components,
and to an extent this is true, it will eat all the rubber components
in your fuel system, being as how fossil fuels are made from oil, they
won't eat your rubber components.
But don't let this discourage you from converting your car to E85,
it's a better running, higher performing and cleaner burning fuel for
your car, and to start on your conversion, you might want to start by
pulling all of the rubber fuel lines off your car, and bending up some
nice steel fuel lines, and for those areas where you need rubber
lines, just go a head and use the urethane plastic lines to replace
the short sections that you need, you got to remember that plastic,
while it will bend around corners, it's a lot more likely to kink then
rubber is, so use it in as straight of a line as you can.
The fuel lines are the first step, after you get those done, you'll
move on to the major components of your fuel system, such as you fuel
pump, carburetor, fuel filter, and the rest of your components that
make up your fuel system, obviously you can get these components from
parts sellers like Jegs, and Summit Racing, people have a tendency to
think that you can't update an old car because the things that you
need to do it are not built, but cars have been running alcohol on the
race track for years, and if they can run it you can to, the race
track is where most of the new developments and innovations are made
for your car.
I would suggest that you convert your old car to fuel injection for
the best possible results, and the biggest gain for your car, I know
how some people think that you need to keep your old car all factory
stock, but it's your car, do what you want to it, it's about time that
people begin to update their old cars, and take advantage of some of
the new technology that is available today, don't listen to nay
Sayers, and doubters, they don't like old cars any way, and nothing is
impossible, your car is only as limited as your imagination.
I'm here to tell you, you can do anything to your old car that they do
to the new ones, maybe not quite as easy, but remember the old days,
we had to build most of the modifications that we wanted on our car,
by ourselves, and that is something that you can't do with a new car,
if you need help doing a conversion, then you might want to join our
mailing list because this is one of the subjects that I will cover in
detail in our ezine.
