Nice man ! What’s your plans for it ?

@@georgeauto my hopes is for it to become a first car I’m only 16 doing a school based apprenticeship but I want to clean it up like you did with the ea and eb and get it on club reg so Mum and I can take it for a drive every so often than when I’ve got my Ps and I will get it on normal rego and it will slowly become a cruiser with just to a couple of “tasteful” mods like a eBay cat back mild cam, put it on some king springs tint and I really like the snowflakes on them and eventually manual swap and maybe a 4.0L out of a au or something but i think it’s wishful thinking at this point I’m afraid. And I’ve got I au I can take to wintion and fang it around the track and a ef that needs a rebuild as well which I’ve had since the age of 9 I believe

Thanks Nathan

love it mate ! how much power are you making ?

@@georgeauto About 360kw on E85.

Thanks mate , yes I forgot to mention too just moving the car around and not driving it like starting it quickly and moving it is not ideal

Your "tuner" doesn't know what he's talking about. Condensation occurs naturally, with or without the presence of ethanol, and even in an empty tank. Ethanol also never goes stale, gasoline goes stale.

Nice move ! I love hearing when people are saving cars , as opposed to wrecking them , and yes you’re not wrong the smell is goooood ! Thanks for your comment

@@georgeauto iv got a couple cars on my channel im rebuilding the SS and iv got a 1984 TG Gemini 😁

@@snrautoworx2840 nice I’ll have a look at your vids for sure

I appreciate that! Thanks bro

Thanks bro

That is a great alternative actully I might look into this for the conversion

I didn't know you could get away with less frequent oil changes if you're using LPG. 🙂

@@MichaelCzajka it comes perfeclty clean after 15k compared to black when running on petrol. Still bad to push it too far as it loses its viscosity/quality over time

Yes some details I didn’t add there thank you

It’s a money thing e85 is better just costs more with oil changes and consumption

ok thats good to know, thanks for your feedback

? In my F150 coyote 5.0 I get 80-90% the efficiency of shell nitro premium fuel while using. corn E85 made right here locally in the Midwest. Also makes over 30hp more. Our corn E85 is liquid gold. It usually costs 30-35% less than e15 gas.

@TonicofSonic I'm talking about the manufacture of the fuel. Also, I do know that in the US because corn is not a good source to turn into alcohol 85% ethanol content is never guaranteed, hence why it is called "flex fuel" over there.

Im not sure on this one, would have to check might differ for every model of car / tank

Most cars made after 2012 are e85 safe, but best check with someone who knows your car.

I guess an update to this..I'm on e20 mix only thing I really had to change was fuel filter as oem was fiber type that doesnt mix well with ethanol, maybe running higher percent ethanol you can run into issues with certain components but also hearing all that corrosion stuff is made up and those problems happen more with methanol not saying ethanol is safe with certain materials, e20 is great dont really see a need to run more than e30 on lower power levels

Most times I have gone my gauge reads About e80 I’ve been told that my gauge is off though

Mine says 84 to 86 from United, been flex tuned 18 months, no problems. 2016 Golf R.

@@2001pulsar you're lucky, where abouts are you.. Sadly not all pumps out 82-84%

Yeah some Cars came out with a flex fuel sensor ,

e85 is perfectly fine for dailying so long as you have the money for the extra stops at United

My guess is (don’t sue me if I’m wrong) your car is fitted with a factory flex fuel sensor , this should read the ethanol content and adjust accordingly ? VE commodore ?

@@georgeauto fg xr6t

@@lunch2102 I’d be careful what that , do you know what mods it has ? Is it running a sensor ? Are you sure it’s e85 safe and not e10 ?

@@georgeauto 🤔 I'll have to look when I get home, zero mods

@@georgeauto na, yeah you're right, it's e10

BTW: That was an excellent summary of ethanol. 🙂

ok wow thats crazy I put some in missus car the other day I hope that doesn't happen to hers

thanks mate

ok I didn't know that, something to look into

Haha yes those guys are killing it for us

yes love it ! thanks for your comment

I don’t think so no

oh ok, ive run cars with super old unleaded and they ok, performance stuff though i guess is different as knock sensitivity is a factor

No way ….:O I filled up 2 days ago still 2.19 unless it’s changed since

@@georgeauto This is WA.

I know how annoying, every time I pull up to the pump I hope to see it down but … no

@@georgeauto E85 is $1.979/gal at Casey’s Franklin Kentucky

Haha why

thanks for your great comment, however disagree..... accessability is one negative. Hopefully this drives some traffic to your page nice one

@@georgeauto I appreciate your reply, but availability is not a negative to the fuel, it's a negative aspect of government regulation. Also, the production of ethanol is not a negative, as making alcohol is one of the simplest things to do. For example, one of the negatives about petroleum oil is that control over access to petroleum instigates wars. All major wars over the past 107 years were caused by access to oil. There have never been any wars fought over ethanol...yet. Wars are serious negatives for many reasons. The other thing is that petroleum oil and refining plants are not found everywhere. In the entire land mass of Australia, there is very little oil, and apparently, there are only a couple of operating refineries. Shipping is lengthy, costly, and dangerous. Refining requires expensive facilities and there are very few in the world (you can't set up an oil refinery in the typical backyard or basement). And, if there can be workforce-related problems with ethanol production, there's no reason to think that workforce issues are any easier with petroleum oil fuel production and transportation. Ethanol, on the other hand, can be made anywhere, by anyone, from a wide variety of raw materials. You can set up a distillery in a typical backyard or basement. In Australia, the best crop source would not be sugar cane or corn, it would be agave. Australia has the climate for it and huge tracts of land available to grow it - and it doesn't require nearly as much water. Another abundant crop source for ethanol in Australia would be ocean algae (seaweed, etc.), which doesn't require any water or fertilizer at all. This is even more true for New Zealand. One of the aspects that make agave and algae so great for ethanol production is that the ethanol yield from these materials is far higher than from sugar or corn (algae can provide about 30,000 gallons from one acre of seaweed per year - corn is about 300-400 gallons per acre per year). The other aspect of corn use that you didn't touch on is that the same kernels of corn used for ethanol are used to make other items, most notably animal feed. Meat from these animals is used to feed humans. You said it yourself that you don't know much about what it takes to make ethanol, and so you should avail yourself of the opportunity to learn. Another negative that you suggest is the issue of "energy content." The entire BTU issue is false, a scam. Here are three reports I've published about this: The Irrelevance Of BTU Rating - Big Oil's Gimmick To Hoodwink The Public www.theautochannel.com/news/2015/10/19/144405-irrelevance-btu-rating.html The Irrelevance Of BTU Rating - Revisited www.theautochannel.com/news/2018/07/14/603714-irrelevance-btu-rating-revisited.html The Reason Why Some Ethanol-Gasoline Blends Outperform E0 in All Engines www.theautochannel.com/news/2023/08/17/1306206-reason-why-some-ethanol-gasoline-blends-outperform-e0-all-engines.html Incidentally, I will happily and freely share my knowledge and experience with you so that your KZfaq channel and Internet presence can benefit from the information and gain greater traffic.

@TheAutoChannel one negative thing about e85 is it’s availability I use it I feel it , it’s not fun having to make sure you drive to the same servo everytime , word it how you want but if you switch your car to e85 you feel the inconvenience kick in, also if your don’t drive the car much the fuel goes off engine chick chick booom … it’s more expensive most of the time too …. How about the fact that the engine uses a lot more of it to get a similar result ?

@@georgeauto Your argument is like saying that the negative thing about your favorite ice cream is that you can't find it at every ice cream shop. It's a facetious, wink-wink argument. Instead, you should say that one of the benefits of your favorite ice cream is that even when you can't find your favorite, you can still get by with another flavor. Having a vehicle that uses E85 still allows you to get home again because you can use E0, E5, E10, etc., etc. It's not like the issue of having an electric car and not being able to find a re-charging facility in the middle of a rural countryside or desert. The other problems you mention are a problem with your government, not the fuel. Ethanol should be cheaper than gasoline - you mention it yourself that the wholesale price of ethanol is lower than gasoline. There's two answers to that: Vote your government out, and only use the fuel that's less expensive...if you have a flex fuel vehicle you can use what ever is available and cheapest. Regarding the "energy content" issue, I already provided you with the answer to that in the links I posted. Ethanol-gasoline blends should be cheaper than ethanol-free gasoline, and they usually are to the point that if you get 15% less MPG, you save 20% or 25% in cost, giving you a net gain. Aside from the net gain, if you tried using blends around E30 to E50, you may find that your MPG is equal or better than E0 and you still save money on each gallon of E85. In markets where you can't buy E30 to E50 blends, you "splash blend" it yourself by pumping E85 and then move to the next pump for E10 or E0. If you want to try successfully arguing these points with me, you can, but you have to do it based on knowledge and awareness of what I've published. Just repeating the same negatives doesn't make them true.

@TheAutoChannel I feel like you need to make your own video on it mate seems like you have the time and passion for it more then myself
