Hello,
Using Ehtanol (actually, denatured alcohol) to run my cars through
emission (with a 50% mix, it really drops your emission levels to an
almost unbeliveable low), I can tell you that a 78 midget and 81 ford
courrier will run, abeight not that great.
- Low power
- pinging
- extremly hard to restart in the morning if you did not recorrect the
mixture
I usually run my tank low (down to 1 or 2 galon), add a gallon to 2
galon of denatured alchool from the BORG run a little bit more to get
the stuff mixed in and through the system, pass emission, go refil the
tank and drive some more to get the good mixture through the system.
Regards, cyrille

Subject: Ethanol
I read in a paper that crossed my path yesterday that cars after 1970
can safely use gasoline with 10% ethanol in it. That leads me to
believe that maybe my '67 Midget should not use it and perhaps I should
be exercising care to avoid it. Does anyone have any knowledge about
this?
