RE: Gasoline alternatives....Brazilian ebay advertisement....

Little translation:


What is flex fuel?
This equiment permits gasoline injection engines to works with alcohool.Better with both.

How works?

This sensors changes the engine information to the central control box , changing basicaly temperatures information and engine regulations to permit ethanol use.

Can i use gasoline or ethanol.?

Yes , you have a key to do it.........


The advertisement ends sayin telling that the product is homologated for national cars , but can be tested in imported ones....


It costs...450 reais....that means...US 214 ....Shipment R$80.00

The gasoline costs US1.24/l...the alcohool US0.90/L


Alcohool is a real choice in Brazil....These guys have 97% positive feedback on ebay....incredible......

Re: Gasoline / alcohoo engine coversor Brazilian ebay adertise.

You couldn't pay me to use that fuel in my engines.  Real gas is much cheaper than a destroyed engine or shortened engine life.  It will be interesting, the Indy cars will run 100% ethanol next year.  The Chicago Police Marine unit tried that last year - major engine rebuilds required.  They went back to dino juice fuel.
