Volvo S80 T6 2003 ; E85 flex-fuel use?

Post by dean66 »

Hi,

Does anyone have any information or experience about flex-fuel conversion kits and use of those in S80 (or similar) ?

It sure looks simple and easy to install and start to use such:

There are several positive advantages in use of E85, but there are several disadvantages also.

It would be nice to hear any comments about this issue.

Arto.

Everyone I know with an E85 factory capable vehicle tells me the fuel economy drop on E85 on any but the flattest roads with no headwind erases all fuel cost savings. E85 around here is $.50 less at most. Usually only $.30 less. How much less is it Finland?
The greater worry is the components in your car not designed to handle high ethanol fuels.
