Subject:Engine modifications needed to run E85?
From:Dyer Lytle
Date:Mon, 8 May 2006 07:56:20 -0700

Hi,

Since I am rebuilding a digijet based wasserboxer for
my 84 westy, I was interested in the story on 60 minutes
last night about the ethanol based E85 that is being used
in some parts of the country. (and widely in Brazil)

Does anyone know what modifications would be needed
to the digijet system to make it compatible with E85?
I suspect the injectors might need to be replaced, is the
fuel pressure a consideration?  What about the catalytic
converter?  Thanks for any useful information about this.
