Ive been researching E85 for sometime now. As a buisness owner with several fleet vehicals Im willing to try anything. I just bought a Flextec FFV E85 conversion kit for one of our 2005 Chevy trucks. This technology is nothing new. Matter of fact it is moving backwards to about 1925 when Henry Ford designed his model T to run on either gasoline or pure ethanol. Brazil imports no gasoline and is 100% sugarcane ethanol. I too look at my tractors and think about running ethanol in them but you need to know about E85 before filling up. It burns acidic so you need to run an additive in the oil for a while. As far as the power goes it is 110 octane so you gain far more power but loose 10% mileage. Its like running race fuel. It basically come down to WHO DO YOU SUPPORT?? The American Farmer? or OPEC? See WWW. E85fuel.com for more info
