Posted: 15 Mar 2008 13:03 I on the other hand dont give a damn about the rising cost of fuel which is still less than HALF of what you poor guys have to pay. Is it true gas is 10.00 dollars per gallon,(equivalent U.S.), in England/Ireland?

Posted: 15 Mar 2008 18:44I have been reading a lot about the Swedish use of E-85. I take it that the Swedish Govt. has made ethanol based bio fuel a 50% acceptance rate in Sweden? Is this true Jimi? You know that you could run E-85 in your car with just a carb/injector change and some new stainless/composite fuel line! How much is E-85 in Sweden? Wal-Mart is currently deciding to use E-85 in addition to gasoline at all their retail SuperCenters. This would help the fueling infrastructure here in the states where we currently have 'only' 1500 different ethanol /bio/fuel based outlets, my city has 6 different stations that carry it@2.60 gallon with 105 Octane,(Of course I live in the Corn Belt). Canada only has 1 or 2 places in the whole country that carries it!Jimiboy wrote:We pay about 7,44$/ gallon in Sweden for 95octane
But a hobbie is a hobbie...

 We pay about 19,76$/ u.s gallon here in Sweden for 95 octane! (75 $/Litre)  And the E85 goes about 14$/ u.s gallon, so it is quite crazy over here!

Posted: 16 Mar 2008 13:19Pretty high prices over there my friend! Makes my respect for you hardcore "MoPar Heads" even higher.Jimiboy wrote:That sounds like weird- it must be very confusing to fill the car up if you drive on ethanol...
I must have calculated wrong...(!)
why can't you guys talk in litres?We pay about 19,76$/ u.s gallon here in Sweden for 95 octane! (75 $/Litre) And the E85 goes about 14$/ u.s gallon, so it is quite crazy over here!

I have heard something about that. But is it true the consumption will raise with E-85?
(Man! I dig your truck Ed! It ROCKS!)
 Yes, fuel consumption will be HIGHER than gasoline due to the BTU,(British Thermal Units), of both fuels. Gas is 27% higher BTU's than Ethanol, so with E-85 it would probably equate to a approx 20% increase in fuel consumption over gas.(Remember E-85 is approx. 15% unleaded gasoline). Thanks for the kind words about that Diesel Dodge. It's the most rugged, dependable, vehicle I have ever driven in. It's got all the comfort like heated Leather interior,(I covered it all in Wet Okole seat covers in Neoprene custom made with the Ram's Head and colour matched in silver/blue on each seat), gets great fuel economy for a 7000 Lb. vehicle has 4-wheel disc brakes, a manual tranny that can take 1000 ft. lbs. sustained, Dana 80 Rear/60 front, will pull anything!!!

Wish they made a little 2 cyl/turbo diesel that got 60 mpg and 90 mph top speed.

Posted: 21 Mar 2008 13:12 . I'll be very busy for the next few weeks as my 'workload' on 'regular' vehicles has increased and I'm still working at the restaurant and delivering food to customers, whew, I wasnt this busy at the prison! Here are some pics of the parts, the engine block is still in the back of my Diesel truck. I averaged 23 MPG there and back@4.15 gallon. Not bad!

 Is it something to be afraid of or does it worse the engine in some other way?

Posted: 22 Mar 2008 2:15 please observe the oil pickup boss. It has been enlarged to 1/2 I.D.,(Inside diameter). This is so I can use a "Hemi" pickup. Dave also blueprinted the oiling circuit to ensure full supply at higher RPM's by enlarging some feed holes to a one size bigger feed. Nice work!
