    Just wondering what the masses of gear heads would do. I don't believe any of the mumbo jumbo that Your newer ODBII cars/Trucks won't run it.
    Heck we all know how the big 3 like to save money, and I cant believe that a 5.3 has special fuel lines and special fuel pump, and special pistons, and special valves to run this.

    or do they?

    Peace out

    isn't e-85 just a high alcohol content fuel? It just takes bigger injectors to run the alcohol blend vs regular gasoline.

    Well thats the question, I have been running E85 in the wifes Montana, with no problems, they say it is not compatable with it. But monitoring it with my HPtuner shows that everything is fine, except less knock, and lower values on the O2 sensors. I have no mods on the Montana, all though I wonder how a turbo would do......

    Lol, well anyways thanks for the input, we have 8 plants going up in IA and already sell E85 a some gas stations.

    Let you know if we are replacing any parts on the Montana, oh by the way, it has 60k on it and has always run straight up gas for most of its life.
