Ethanol is a bad choice for our bikes IMO
- Reduced performance and mileage, since ethanol has one-third less energy than pure gasoline
- Absorption of water, further reducing fuel efficiency and potentially resulting in phase separation
- Increased engine and exhaust system temperature, since ethanol leans out the fuel/air mixture
- Corrosion of metal parts in the fuel system
- Damage to fuel lines and gaskets
Not at all good information thank you, who knows what is ahead for us in fuel.:good: Ride safe FredI believe that there were some who experimented with e85 on harleys. Again if memory(crs) serves me they had to go way up on the jet sizing for carbs and larger injectors for the later models, along with some real timing changes. Eventually they got the bikes running pretty good, but it just wasn’t worth the costs vs what they gained.
A little off topic, sorry.
I think the reduction in mpg is about 25 percent. I think alcohol has quite a bit less energy than gas.
Ethanol does not have the energy output of 100% gasoline. If you are running E85, you will definitely see a big reduction in your mileage. Depending on if the E85 is actually 85% ethanol. Up to a couple years ago some of what was being marketed as E85 would have been more correctly advertised as E70. At this time, with the price of corn being over $5 a bushel the production of ethanol is on a downward slide. Just need to keep corn prices up.
We will never know the socialist propaganda will keep us distracted with a sports event or fabricate something that suits the purpose for all of the sheep... Pray for America. FredAnd that should happen with Biden shutting down that Canadian pipeline project. We are back to a downward spiral in the economy thanks to these short-sighted moves he's doing. But he have more liberal voters too to keep it that way by opening to border with zero vetting. When does the first caravan arrive???
Now we're back to being dependent on foreign oil again - we were energy independent - welcome to the New United Socialist Republic.
Can we last for 2 years until the people come to their senses and vote all the libs out of congress?????
God help the US of A
