What about 100% Ethanol?

[JustaGT]

So I spoke to a company today about getting E85 from them and they told me that they are going to have 100% Ethanol available soon. Would that be good or bad?

Pro's and Con's?

It is good but you will have problems with cold starts. Not a huge problem in the south but you get up north and it will be. You will have to have a bit more fuel but not a lot more compared to E85. There are a few guys running E98 also.

Is 100% Ethanol, E-100?? If so then there is a guy on Yellowbullet.com that had a rattle coming from his engine while running switched to c23(I believe)and didn't have a rattle no more! Alot of people said it was his engine combo because of compression and the shot amount of nitrous didn't go well! But just food for thought!:beer:

Sounds like I'm best sticking with e85 but I'd like to here more from others

What was the per gallon price of the E100? You could always mix your own E85.

Didn't ask nor did they say.

i think with e100 (pure alcohol) you need to fog the engine if its gonna sit for a while cuz there is no lubercation. if the car is drivin on the street, just stick with e85.

Stick with E85 or blend your own by mixing it.

Here's a link to the handy ethanol calculator.

There's no need to run 100% Ethanol. Actually, it's ~E98 because they have to poison it with a little gasoline. The knock resistance of E98 is not much higher at all than E85.

Some E85 pumps are actually getting E92-95.
