The ADFP is extremely reversible Rick.just dial it back for Gasoline

Either way with a Kit or ADFP or any conversion the ECU is going to need to cycle through any changes

Yes Fuel Injectors leaves us with the least quick change options ..

I'm thinking that turning the ignition off and back on tells the ecu it didn't start the first time and it uses a different mix, probably richer with the temps we have now.

This is why I'm not too keen on changing the injectors or increasing the fuel pressure. By using a conversion, it's easily reversible and (in theory) you can improve ...

I am now running full e85 in the Suzuki with my ADFP reg but back to the cold start situation like you. 2 turns of the key and warm up 15-30 seconds . I have found for this particular setup is turn the key to on but not start the first time ..second turn of the key to start and it pops...

Re: Energy Strategy: Obama or McCain?

Today at 10:55:45 AM by 1outlaw

Larry- you are very right about talking to our elected officials about our opinions. You may also be right about switching sides in some ways-- one of my greatest fears is the Federal and Supreme Court appointees. I am very much against the constitution being left to be read as a "living" document- rather than a "fixed-this is what it says". This i...

Re: Energy Strategy: Obama or McCain?

Today at 01:32:05 AM by hotrod

The issue is that McCain is not an advocate of subsidies of any kind. In principal I agree with him that if Oil was not heavily subsidized ethanol could compete without subsidies. As mentioned in the article he has avoided mentioning ethanol directly but has dropped hints that he supports all options which of course would include fuel...

What they need to do is build some "back bone" ethanol dedicated pipe lines, that tie the major markets together. A backbone that can move ethanol north south along the Atlantic sea board.
A back bone that runs north and south near the missippi, and a back bone that ties the atlantic sea board to the midwest and the mountain west, perhaps runn...

Galva Holstein is right across from the ethanol plant entrance along Hwy. 20 east of Holstein about 6 miles. Go north on M25 about a 1/4 mile.

Hi Dan,

They didn't give much info so that was actually intended more for anybody close that wanted to check them further. One or two may already be listed on your site, but I can't tell because they didn't supply addresses. I think one of them was in the article because they were upgrading to a blender pump.

I watched financial news and saw GM's report. If I was losing billions, I'd make a change right frickin' now. If they were working for me the whole crew would get their walkin' papers. Later.

That is how they meet the new CAFE standards in one fell swoop.
They probably could care less what the E85 fuel mileage is since they get credit for 6.67 x the true mileage toward their fleet average fuel mileage.
