you guys are forgetting the perpose of E85, it is to slow down our oil usage. I personally never tried useing E85 but it is an idea to save this planet.

 

We'd do better to all work on HHO car's then E85, its just driving the food prices up, and it is so bad for your car, unlike doing a HHO conversion.

 

While I understand and respect your point of view, oil consumption really is not the issue even though that's what the general public believes because of what they are being told.

Gas prices are high because we refuse to extract and refine our own supplies and continue importing oil, which puts us at the mercy of the distributor over seas. Auto's constitute the lowest % of pollutants of all gas powered engines, the factories are whats killing the air. The big factories know this thats why they are always trying to buy pollution credits from anyone they can (Oh yeah this really happens and out gov lets it). E85 is a crappy alternative fuel thats why car manufacturers are looking at electric so much and straight hydrogen is too dangerous & expensive to set-up. Like ironcowboy said all its doing (along w/rediculous gas prices) is driving the cost of food up. If this keeps up we'll be like Europe and pay $8/gallon of milk, $10/gallon gas, etc. The sad thing is the USA really does have enough oil to cut out all importing, so why don't we (won't go there). Ok I'm jumpin off my soapbox

I agree with ironcowboy, I am in the testing stages of HHO myself. Check out the HHO thread on this forum, there is allot of good info floating around.

 

how good is this HHO? can using this for anytime frame be bad for your engine like detenation or cause any kind of buildup?

 

One of my friends just converted his Jeep to run on half hydrogen half gasoline. Its a carburatored 360. He just set it up and next time Italk to him, Ill let you guys know how it runs and how much gas he saves, ect.

 

Off politics and back tothe postedquestion.
E85 is alcohol. Itis very corrosive. So yes, any component which handles fuel has to be stainless steel.That, and ayellow gascap!

 

No see that's my point. My trucks doesn't have a yellow gas cap. It doesn't have an E85 sticker or even mention it in the manual. But Dodge says it will run on it and I've gone through almost a whole tank without any codes or problems now. That was the point of my post is that 2003 4.7's will handle E85 if the 8th digit of the VIN is an N. I'm going to run a tank of 87 after this E85 tank to compare the mileage as I haven't had the truck long enough to know the difference in mileage yet.

 

Your mileage maybe off ~ 20% avg. More investigation on my end other than that submitted site, and I'll make my decision then. Just my luck, some site may have included the wrong VIN code.

Jury is still out.
You can always burn 5% ethanol by using Sunoco.

 

Ok, I don't understand why you'd need to do more research. Believe me, I already did it. I went straight to Dodge, which wouldn't have any advantage telling me that I could run E85 and risk my coming back on them for misinforming me. Also, the E85 company told me that if it doesn't throw any codes, I'm fine. I don't have any codes. So with all of that, and after running a full tank, I'm pretty confident that I'm ok. I'm just trying to inform everyone else who might want to do the same thing. If you still don't believe me, after reading the direct quote from Dodge, email or call them yourself with your VIN and see what they say. However, I'm going to have to do the math to see if less mpg still saves $ with E85 being so much less. I'm still investigating that.
