Hello.

I want to convert my R19 16V to ethanol.
Does anyone have any experience about this?

How much E85 can I use without convert my engine?
And how should I do to convert my car? I have looked at a solution that is named Flexitune/Flextek. With that solution I can run with 100% e85 when I want and standard gas when I want that... You just press on a switch...

All help is needed :)

not worth the hassle, you need to stabilise the tank and fuel lines.

also the gain will be bugger all. And you will lose performance.

You will however use twice as much fuel roughly.
