Default RE: E85 Fuel

ORIGINAL: cutacroshorty

I am right now watching a CNN Special about Brazil and its use of Ethenol. The program said that Brazil will in the very near future be completely free of exported oil. Brazil is already at 40% usage of Ethinol in their vehicles made from sugar cane.

It's just a matter of time before we start to see a lot more of it here in the US. There are a few manufacturers of Ethinol here using corn and maybe other renewable resources. They were even talking about using hay.

I wonder if Harley is doing any R&D right now on a E85 engine?
Really don't need a different engine. Just a different fuel delivery design, and higher compression.
