I seen that GM is starting to convert some of their vehicles to run on FlexFuel GM E85 Ethanol are there any ATV's running on this yet? Or maybe any plans too???

 

Hope not. No sense in making atvs any more complicated or expensive especially when they travel a significantly fewer number of miles and are present in much lower numbers than autos.

Aside from the marginally lower price at the pump I really dont see any advantage for atvs. And since you're only filling up 2-5 gallons at a time I really dont see the point.

 

flex fuel isnt something they just came out with. there have been cars since 2000 that can run on this stuff. go to this link to find out:

true, the cost of fuel is irrlevant if you are not filling up 25-30 gallons at a time but if E85 proves to offer the same performance and octane requirements for your quad, and you have a truck that can run in it and you are at an E85 station, why not put it in the quad if nothing is harmed i anyway? Maybe some of our chemists and petroleum engineers on here can elaborate more on the pros/cons of this fuel.

E85 stations are not everywhere yet so it wont effect us for awhile...
if i had a station down here id be putting it in my truck.

 

Wouldent it be great, all the riding areas would smell like french fries......dohhhhh[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] thats something else, nevermind.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

85% ethanol, corn fuel.
Heck this has been going on for a long time. ask any old moonshiners you know.

Ive been running E10 for many years and it does keep the fuel system cleaner and not much chance of feeze up in the winter.

Look up ***** fuel now thats a heck of a story.. willie nelson.
