Can gasoline pickup be converted to burn E-85
E-85 outlets are becoming more common so it would be nice to be able to use it. I'm not really ready to trade pickups for an E-85 ready one so I wondered first of all what is different about the fuel system and second if there is a kit or something to convert my pickup an 04 Chevy small V8. Thanks. Frank.

E85 is 85% Ethanol/15% gasoline. No I haven't checked any other boards, but I will. If it's a pricey deal to convert then I'll just wait till truck trading time. At one time there was no extra charge for E85 ready pickups from the factory, if that is still the case I'll just wait till I trade. Frank.

Thanks for filling me in on the problems I would have without lots of gasket and injector changes. I'll just wait till next pickup trade time. Till this past season I had grown corn all my working life and what with the huge corn piles in almpost every cornbelt town I'd like to do my part to use up the extra corn and not be quite so dependent on foreign oil sources who have mainly their wellfair in mind not ours. There are quite a number of new ethanol plants in the building or startup stage right now, so it seems to be here to stay. Frank.

This man has some interesting things. I think the kit was 395.00 for my pickup. On the WVO subject, it seems there was someone not too far from here that was having a problem with the road tax issue. I never heard how it came out. Frank.

My cousin burns a mix of fuel oil and waste oil in a converted oil furnace in his farm shop. I think all he did was change to a different nozzel size. There used to be a truck that came around once a year or so buying waste oil for ten cents a gallon for re refining. You had to have a minimum amount and a way to pump it on him. I haven't seen him for several years, so I don't know if they still do that or not. Lots of interesting things to discuss. Frank.
