Can gasoline pickup be converted to burn E-85
Depending on the age of the vehicle there may need to be a lot of small changes. Ethanol will have a high percentage of water and can be corrosive. I think the brass fittings can be a problem depending on the type used.

Look at the other thread we had on ethanol I think someone posted a link. I recall the net energy gain is not as much as you think or would like but is positive.
It is like the oils sands, as the technology improves less energy is used and the energy gain increases.

Having looked at the new pellet/corn stoves with their quick start up, I was wondering the same thing. Could we be thinking of a new Stanley Steamer?

Pete; I did not see the post earlier. Is that the post in the WSJ by Holman W. Jenkins Jr? I think Jenkins is the one laughing at us. I have read a couple of his articles and I don't think he has the were with all, to understand the problems or the technology. As he lives in the center of the metropolis and previously in Hong Kong it is likely he doe's drive much. His BA in literature and MA in journalism does not really make him an expert in technology in my opinion.
Although I am not an expert, I am a member of SAE. I have worked on materials for NiMH batteries and have one patent in the area. I helped pull apart the first Prius to hit American shores years ago for analysis. I agree the technology used in the hybrids is not perfect, but neither is the logic used by Jenkins. I can say the technology has advanced since the first model.
Personally I think the MIT review puts a truer prospective on Hybrid technology.
They are talking about taking your fuelcell car home and pugging it into the electrical grid.
Personally I think the clean diesel makes better sense, then again clean diesel and hybrid technology may do even better.
