i was thinking as i fuel up my wife's taurus this morning, is it possible to convert a vehicle (say my '93 4.0) to run the E85 fuel? im sure it could get costly, new fuel pump, rubber lines, maybe injectors. and i dont know if the non-adjustable timing curve would need to change. i know E85 isnt as effeceint a fuel but just wondered if it would be a do-able thing or not. this a.m. E85 was 2.87 and reg 87 octane was 3.20 i did explain to my wife not to run it and why, but it did make me wonder if it could be converted over.

from what i've herd vehicles that old require alot to convert. i know some of the newer ones can run E85 or Gas. the cost to convert eveything over, cost of the fuel usage with the loss of milage and power, compaired to just using Gas, would take a long time to make it cost effective.IMO but ya u could convert it if u really want.

Not so much loss in power
