whats need to run E85

[mustangrfast88]

just as the title says, i was just woundering since some of the places we travel to sell e85 and it is cheaper the the regular gas.

i have just heard you cant run e85 inless the car was made for it but i also heard you can change somethings and it will be able to run e85

" Technically speaking, converting a vehicle that was designed to operate on unleaded gasoline only to operate on another form of fuel is a violation of the federal law and the offender may be subject to significant penalties. No aftermarket conversion company has taken the initiative to certify an E85 kit that would allow a gasoline vehicle to operate on 85% ethanol. "

There has to be a way. Bio-Fuel is the future. I can't wait until the US can tell the Arabs to shove their oil where the sun don't shine.
