About 2000 U Texas participated in a college contest to make an E-85 vehicle. They changed the injectors for larger injectors, moved the fuel pump out of the gas tank, added better fire flash suppression to the gas tank filler, and changed some gaskets. They didn't change or chip the computer. The computer controlled the larger injectors just fine. The E-85 option isn't an addition to most vehicles, its just using different parts that had to be there anyway. I don't believe those spokesmen who talk about ethanol sensors for the fuel line, I think the sensor used is the standard oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe just like burning any other fuel. The computer takes care of the different mixture. Burning ethanol in intern combustion engines isn't rocket science. Ford's models A and T did it when they were new. Took a driver adjusted mixture knob. Gerald J.
