Any thing good about Ethanol?

I run a 3.2 with PMOs in my early 911. Has anyone had first hand experience with Ethanol and new PMOs, are they designed to work with E10-E15.

What would we have to modify on early cars to avoid fuel related problems?

My understanding is ethanol based fuel has a higher octane rating, can we build higher compression motors with out the need for twin plugging?

I say only 2 good things.

1) Corn farmers making out like bandits
2) keeps the moisture in your tank undercontrol in the winter

best thing is to contact Richard Parr

also use the new Goodyear or other brand of fuel hose rated for EtOH

it will help clean the motor a bit - I'd avoid anything over E10

you could also talk to the drag racer community...

You'll need larger jets to offset the lower energy content of e10. E15 will require even bigger jets. I hear cold starting will be harder with e15. I run e10 now, CT...

This is the best use for corn ethanol.
