Since there's the current big-push here in the States for "biofuels" has me wondering about how the NG900 are using it? As I understand the problems are both insufficient "injector volume" and alcohol's corrosiveness to fuel-lines and seals. While most manufacturers have approved e15 for their standard-fuel cars, my manual appears to recommend no-higher than e10 fuel. What's going to happen if the government mandates e15-minimum in a few years? Some local jurisdictions have already required e10-minimum gasolines be-sold there.
Is there an e15 or e85 conversion kit? From what I've read, once e85 is regularly-available, it's a much better performance-fuel if priced-equitably to gasoline. It's 105-octane, burns cooler and loves high-pressure turbo-charging; you just need a larger fuel-tank for the same range.
I was watching Jay Leno visiting Banks Engineering, and Mr. Banks said that the problem with e85 today isn't the fuel, it's the need to be flexible for both gasoline and e85. If designed for just e85, high-performance engines are both feasible and still very fuel-efficient due to the 105-octane and the cooler temps. The problem today to using just e85 is supply and distribution.
