Question

Can you run ethanol in a reg gasoline motor?

Answer 1

ya its the best go for it!!!!!! Thats why gas is 5 dollars a gallon and everyone still chooses it over ethanol.

Answer 2

you probably can as long as its not too concentrated. the ethanol is different then gas and you fuel system might not be able to handle the difference. wether it be excess corrosion or something like that. the block itself will be fine. no explosions or nything there

Answer 3

it will run in any regular engine but if your vehicle isn't converted to use it you will burn out your fuel pump and corrode all your fuel lines and it will eat any rubber part that it comes in contact with, in other words if your car isn't equipped from the factory or been converted to run E-85 don't use it.

Answer 4

Are you talking about pure ethanol? If yes, then NO you cannot

Are you talking E 85? yes you can, but with consequences.

Ethanol is VERY corrosive(bad for metal)

Running E-85 will give you less MPG, It takes nearly twice as much ethanol to compare to the effectiveness of regular pure good ole gasoline

stoich mixtures of gas and air is 14:1, ethanol is somewhere around 7:1,

which means almost or more than double the ethanol to make a complete burn in the combustion chamber.
