"converted this 95 mustang to run on ethanol"

[XJHEAD]

Anyone want to tell me how to save that vid??

[MisterCMK]

I'm saving it now...

[thrash]

the work done on the stang was done by that shop in SD, right?

Do they have an EPA conversion license?

Technically, it is a federal offense to convert a non-E85 car to run on E85 unless you have some crap from the EPA saying you're allowed to do so. I wonder if the shop that did the work had all the right paperwork.

Remember kids - your government is stupid, and a good chunk of it is in the pockets of moneyed interests, and a good deal of the power is in the hands of unaccountable committees or licensing boards.

I suspect if homebrew E85 conversions start happening more frequently or get more publicity, a few people will get in trouble for "EPA license non-compliance"

BTW - I think this stang is awesome, and the guys that built it are awesome, and everyone that wants big power should be running E85. But if if it starts to get too much attention, expect a crack down.

Good job Andy...Im sure there is tons of legal ?'s that could be adressed but who cares...I hope you make a ton of cash

Where did you get this information?

If you noticed, Andy has partnered with Diablosport. I am guessing they have an idea of what is going on.

thanks for the kind words guys- alotta work, but alotta fun. I tried to get the RDO (john deere) guys to hook me up with a 12 row corn head for bills car, but they said the big corn headers take some horsepower- I guess it's back on the dyno again!

probably going to have to modify the front suspension for duals if you do that though.

Probably stick to a 6 row and just run down the field at 130 instead.
