E85 in tractor? ICH put metal float in carb early for alchohal fuels. E85 will probably clean all the crud build up in fuel system quick- will need to clean carb. On JD- does it have 'hot' setting for distillate? - You will probably need preheat for the fuel/air to help vaporise the fuel. New E85 car engines with injectors have fine spray tips, hot thermostats. Old carb conversions noted to use heat exchanger -radiator hose to fuel line- or oilcooler on aircooled engines - to get alky to mix/vaporise in carb. Will need gasoline primer/gas tank until engine is warm. Tractors are running low compression and moderate voltage ignition. C could be setup with high compression pistons, electronic high voltage ignition to run E85 effectively. How much do you want to spend?RN..
