[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1108771, member: 277"] Plus, premium doesn't knock because it burns colder than regular. If the octane is high enough the flames will completely freeze [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] When E85 arrives fuel systems will have to eliminate rubber, aluminum and magnesium. Another fun change is that E85 is electrically conductive. There is mention that vehicles with fuel-tank-mounted fuel pumps will need to prevent arcing, and may need to have flame arrestors in the fill pipe. Should motorcycles ever go to E85 I will stop filling my tank while sitting on the bike. There are fuel sensors which can read the type of fuel being used to allow for optimized fuel injection pulse widths which can permit a flex fuel engine to have equal or better mileage than an engine burning straight gasoline. With the properly designed engine it would also make up to 12% more power. [/QUOTE]
