Guest RON JONES Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Well I got it to pass last week.I put a couple gallons of Alcohol in it(I got it at the track)just before I pulled in to the testing facility.Check this out,the CO #'s were 0.02!before it was 5.45 and the limit is 3.27.The car had a 1/2 tank of gas in it before I put in the Alcohol,so It wasn't like it was running on pure Alcohol.I was very surprised with the #'s.My highly modified Truck is due up for Emissions.I think I'm going to dump a couple gallons of Alcohol in it and not even try to get it to pass on just gas.

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 The alcohol does nothing to your seals/gaskets etc or run to hot? (I'm not familiar with burn characteristics of it). I've had good success with ~1 litre (1/4 gallon) of methyl hydrate per 1/2 tank of gas. I've heard it's not the best for the motor but so far both motors I tore down after using for a few years (annual inspection/sniffer) were still fully sealed and nothing abnormal at all. I only use a 1/2 tank so I can burn it off quickly......I WON"T be doing this with the EFI now installed.....hopefully I can just build a program to get me thru now. GLAD you got it thru Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RON JONES Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I already ran the tank through and filled it up with fresh Gas.Doesn't seem to be any problems.I don't think it hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
