*I doubt many if any cars in UK are E85 compliant. All fuel lines made<br>
prior to 1995 in US were NOT ethanol ready and will fall apart readily.*Hi<br>
Randy,<br>
Your note has raised a very interesting question.<br>
Have you had any experience with original Petroflex hoses failing due to<br>
ethanol?<br>
We have been subjected to ethanol for many years now and I cannot recall<br>
even one incidence of a Petroflex failure that I could attribute to it.<br>
My own 100 has an original<br>
? NOS?<br>
Smiths Petroflex hose joining the main fuel line to the carb fuel pipe and<br>
although it has only been on the road for 2 years since restoration I have<br>
not seen any signs of failure and the hose is still very flexible.<br>
?I do know that if you subject a Petroflex hose to "Varsol" ?cleaning fluid<br>
it deteriorates rapidly and that should definitely be avoided at all costs.<br>
Would appreciate your thoughts.<br>

The correct AFR for alcohol (ethanol) is around 8 to 1 versus gasoline at 14.7 to 1. Switching to 10% ethanol should equate to about a 5% richer mixture. Ethanol produces more power than gasoline ? hence alcohol race engines but much more fuel required.
Your mileage will suffer.<br>

The issues with the Ethanol will depend on the percentage of Ethanol they will be putting in. Here in California most of the Ethanol is 10%. However they are talking about raising that and if they do we will start having real problems.<br>
<br>
The most common issues we run into are . Overheating and miss fires under heavy load due to lean mixtures. Especially worse on the Tri Carb.<br>
<br>
This can usually be cured by installing the Rich needles.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The other issues are lack of power and lower gas mileage.<br>

It is not likely you will encounter real problems as you have presumably <br>
used E85 for years. This usually contains about 5% ethanol, sometimes <br>
considerably more. So you have already changed most if not all rubber <br>
parts with modern items that are ethanol resistant. If you still have <br>
original rubber parts e.g. hoses, replace them. It is unbelievable that <br>
some people still have original fuel hoses, brake hoses etc. fitted. <br>
They should have been replaced a very long time ago. Very risky.<br>
There are claims it can corrode aluminium alloy parts in the carbs and <br>
fuel pump, but I still have to see proper physical evidence of this. <br>
Pumps and carbs that have been exposed to ethanol containing petrol for <br>
donkeys years are mostly still absolutely clean. If the petrol is <br>
contaminated with water or if the carbs/pumps have been dry for years <br>
you may see some sediment or corrosion, but this is rare.<br>

Hello All,<br>
I am looking to replace or repair the DASH TOP on my 1966 BJ8. I?m looking for recommendations for vendors who can supply the material that is closest to the original vinyl ?leathercloth?.<br>
I see that MOSS does offer a DASH TOP, PADDED, BLACK ( pt # 633-850 ) for $203. Does anyone sell a kit with just the material ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Simon, we have been subjected to ethanol for some years here in Canada and<br>
confess I did absolutely nothing to my '59 BT7 to adjust to it. I rebuilt<br>
the carbs 3 years ago, but prior to that, they had whatever parts I fitted<br>
when I previously serviced them, probably 15-20 years ago. I don't thrash<br>
the car, and driving normally I noticed no difference in power, and since it<br>
is not my regular driver for work etc., I have never bothered much about<br>
fuel consumption (would it influence how much drive it?- No!). I can't<br>
even recall when I last serviced the fuel pump, it must be at least 25 -30<br>
years ago, perhaps not since I put a new one in around 1975, just after I<br>
bought the car. I expect it would affect timing but I always fine-adjust<br>
this with the Vernier on the distributor after static setting per usual<br>
practice and I get no pinging. Being in Canada, the car is not driven<br>
during the salt season from around late November to late March(-ish). I<br>
don't top up or drain the tank, or add any fuel stabilizers, and it starts<br>
up and runs just fine in the spring (except for needing a boost some years).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My advice is just drive it, and if something breaks, THEN fix it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
To be clear, I not saying the ethanol has no effect, it plays havoc with the<br>
carburation on my vintage motorcycles, which are air-cooled and much less<br>
forgiving when burn-rate and combustion temperature are changed with the<br>
ethanol. I just think the Healeys, the 3000s at least, can cope with the<br>
changes more easily. The only other big effect I noticed is that it is<br>
attacking the lining I put in one of my BSA fuel tanks, and I will have to<br>
clean that out soon before completely breaks down (the solvent is<br>
methyl-ethyl ketone - I can't wait!).<br>
<br>
Good luck with it, <br>
<br>
Mirek<br>

I get a solid 12% LESS miles on Calif 91 octane (highest available) than I do here in KY with 93 octane (highest available) But I am seeing more 10% Ethanol fuel in KY than in previous years. But we have many ethanol free offerings in the area.
<br>
Had to change fuel line on Healey recently when it began leaking from splits/disintegration. I smelled it before I found it. Nearly a fire risk.<br>

Here in Europe most Austin-Healeys (95%+) were completely restored with new <br>
parts, lines, hoses, fitted. I only know one or two cars out of 100 which <br>
only got a tidying up since they were built. So extremely rare.<br>
I have many friends who use E10 (95 Octane) in their classic cars without <br>
any problems. My Austin-Healeys need 98+ Octane, so I stay with the premium <br>
fuels from Shell (V-Power (101 Octane), or ARAL Ultimate (103 Octane). <br>
These premium fuels, or the Super Plus (98 Octane) contain below 5% <br>
Ethanol. So I haven?t faced any problems.<br>
I would have some problems using E10 (95 Octane), as it would cause <br>
after-run of the engines, which are eliminated with higher octane fuels.<br>

It is not likely you will encounter real problems as you have presumably <br>

There are claims it can corrode aluminium alloy parts in the carbs and fuel <br>

as far as I know 95 grade "European Octane" is comparable with 91 grade <br>
"American Octane". Don?t know the reason for that, as I never went into it <br>
further. I.E. Afgas for plane engines is about 103 Octane Europe.<br>

In Europe there was often a substantial amount of ethanol in post war <br>
petrol wel into the '60's. Petrol was not of the best quality and <br>
ethanol was used as an octane booster. Not many problems at the time.<br>

John and Josef,<br>
<br>
There are two methods for measuring octane rating - motoring and <br>
research. The average of the two is used in the US. The higher <br>
research octane number is used in Europe.<br>

My BJ8 has had a Petroflex line in it for 100K+ miles and 25+ years and hasn't had a problem. It does feel a little stiff and since I'm doing an overhaul I've bought a replacement (watch it crap out in 3 months ;).

Hi Randy, <br>
Your note has raised a very interesting question. <br>
Have you had any experience with original Petroflex hoses failing due to ethanol?
<br>
We have been subjected to ethanol for many years now and I cannot recall even one incidence of a Petroflex failure that I could attribute to it.
<br>
My own 100 has an original <br>
? NOS? <br>
Smiths Petroflex hose joining the main fuel line to the carb fuel pipe and although it has only been on the road for 2 years since restoration I have not seen any signs of failure and the hose is still very flexible.
<br>
?I do know that if you subject a Petroflex hose to "Varsol" ?cleaning fluid it deteriorates rapidly and that should definitely be avoided at all costs.
<br>
Would appreciate your thoughts. <br>

Ethanol has a much lower energy content than gasoline, hence the lower mileage with gasahol. See here:
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/fuel_comparison_chart.pdf">http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/fuel_comparison_chart.pdf</a>

<br>
('alternate fuels,' not 'alternate facts') <br>
<br>
It does, however, have a higher octane rating allowing the huge compression ratios in dragsters and other racers; which is what produces the massive power in those engines.

The correct AFR for alcohol (ethanol) is around 8 to 1 versus gasoline at 14.7 to 1. Switching to 10% ethanol should equate to about a 5% richer mixture. Ethanol produces more power than gasoline ? hence alcohol race engines but much more fuel required. Your
mileage will suffer. <br>
<br>

I believe the European octane ratings are Research Method only, which reads 3-5 points higher than US (R+M)/2. So, European 98 octane would be equivalent to US 93 octane (rare, but available in some areas in the States; 100-octane is available for boat engines
around Havasu). <br>
<br>
Contrary to popular belief, ethanol can actually raise octane. There's a gas station in Los Altos that used to sell 95-octane, which was E10 IIRC. It's very difficult to raise the octane rating of pure gas--it requires special refining--that's why TEL was added
starting around WWII for high-compression fighter engines (it was 'discovered' at the Sloan-Kettering institute, who tested several thousand compounds before settling on TEL). Adding ethanol to gasoline means the gas part doesn't have to be as carefully refined
(hence 'cheaper'). There is an exhaustive research program being undertaken in order to develop an aviation fuel to replace 100LL--100-octane, 'low-lead,' which I believe is 'only' 2 grams/gallon of elemental lead vs. 3 grams/gallon of previous formulations--and
it is proceeding very slowly due to its complexity. <br>
<br>
I've run tanks of E10 and tanks of pure gas, and didn't notice any significant variance in mileage, but it's usually an 'oranges-to-apples' comparison since most runs involve a mix of highway/freeway and grades, stop-and-go, etc.

Wish I could get 93 octane let alone 95 or 98! <br>

OK, now I be confused. In the States, E10 is 10% ethanol, E85 is 85% ethanol, so E95 would be 95% ethanol. Is that correct?

Should of course be E95 <br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
My rear end housing is bent and I may need a replacement. I <br>
would be interested in a complete assembly or just the housing itself. I <br>
discovered the problem when I had difficulty removing the rear axles, <br>
and once they are out they bind on the hub studs preventing reassembly. <br>
I will pull the differential today and install the axles to see how bad <br>
the misalignment is. I am located in CT.<br>

Have not heard of 95. There is talk of e15 which will be bad for all. 10 was bad. And some warranties will be denied by engine maufacturers if it goes to 15<br>

Check out this report/ road test of a comparison of E85 to Gas.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/e85-vs-gasoline-comparison-test.html">https://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/e85-vs-gasoline-comparison-test.html</a><br>
<br>
Here at the shop we have been dealing with this problem for a long time with a lot of cars. And found the same problems with all of them, some worse than others.<br>
<br>
Overheating due the removal of the gas and addition of the Ethanol. The Ethanol burns hotter which reduces emissions. This causes older cars to run hotter.<br>
<br>
Lower gas mileage and lower performance <br>
<br>
Miss fires and Lack of power due to the leaner mixture. The is especially worse on a Tri Carb Healey, the rear carb will lean out on a long hard run at a steady hight rpm.
<br>
<br>
Also Ethanol has a very strong cleaning ability, So if you start using Ethanol in a older gas tank or a tank that has been sitting for while that has a lot of varnish build up. The Ethanol will go about its cleaning ability and clean up all that varnish in
the tank and deposit it in the carburettors. <br>
<br>
I know that there are lots of those out there that have all the techy stuff. But I go by what I have learned by over 40 year of working on all British cars and lots of them.<br>
<br>
The bottom line with 10 % Ethanol your Vintage car will run hotter, get worse fuel economy and may experience miss fires under heavy acceleration.<br>
