e-85

[Darren Clark]

DON'T!!!!! Equipment used with E85 should be "listed" according to existing codes. Using incompatible materials or improperly installing or cleaning equipment can lead to fuel contamination, which can result in serious vehicle damage. In general, zinc, brass, lead, and aluminum are sensitive to high-blend alcohol fuels, and fueling system components containing them should be avoided. Plated steel (referred to as "terne-plated," a lead-tin alloy) and lead-based solder are not compatible with E85. Other materials that might degrade in the presence of high-blend alcohol fuels include natural rubber, cork, leather, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamides, methyl-methacrylate plastics, and some types of thermo and thermoset plastics. Also your engine will run much leaner since the volume of E-85 must be increased (compared to regular gasoline) to achive the same air/fuel ratio. You will kill your bike. Darren Clark

If anybody on the list is interested, I have a spare engine stator cover for sale. It's in really good shape. I'm asking $75.00. Please contact me off list. Darren Clark [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
