With all the success racers on here have had with E85 I figured I would try it. The carb was a Gary Williams carb. It now has APD metering plates and was done by Randy Scheuer. Now if the snow would quit flying I could give it a try on my Cuda. Jack 6430589-P1010001.JPG (87 downloads)

For the record, remember, The federal tax credit, called the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit, also known as VEETC (sometimes referred to as the "blender credit") is a credit of $0.45 for every gallon of pure ethanol blended into gasoline; goes to the fuel blender, not the ethanol producer. So, in realality ethanol is not subsidized, the fuel use is. This credit offsets the federal motor vehicle fuel tax which is paid. The main reason ethanol is put in gasoline is for air pollution reduction. Most of the ethanol in the US is used in regular pump gasoline (10% ethanol), so the blender tax credit often is going to the oil company that mixes it with gasoline before delivery to their stations. I wish the tax credit went to the end fuel user, not the blender. Quote: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-140, H.R. 6) amended and increased the RFS, requiring 9 billion gallons of renewable fuel use in 2008, stepping up to 36 billion gallons by 2022. Under the modified RFS, corn-based ethanol (conventional biofuel) is essentially capped at 15 billion gallons by 2015, while 21 of the 36 billion gallons in 2022 must be derived from advanced biofuel such as cellulosic and non-corn-based ethanol. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG).

You hace to be kidding.The farmer gets nothing extra for the corn weather it goes to feed or foodfor human use or fuel. If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL
