What's required for an a/c to run on part ethanol?

John


Seals, gaskets, O-rings, and and any hoses in the existing system may or
may not hold up against ethanol - likely at least some will not. Corrosion
of the fuel tank may also be an issue. If you want to go with more than
10-20% ethanol you will need to re-jet your fuel delivery system.

When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate.

There is also the problem of water in the fuel, and the overall loss of
horsepower. Your previous take-off distances will not apply.
