| Subject: | Re: Alky blend and power |
On a carburetor engine burning an alcohol mix fuel in an engine jetted for straight
gasoline the power will drop. On a fuel injected engine with an oxygen sensor
the volume of the fuel will automatically be increased until the proper amount
of fuel, BTU is being fed to the engine, not so with a carburetor version,
as the fuel flow is controlled by carburetor jets. If you burn a high volume
of alcohol with a carburetor engine it will be running very lean unless the
carburetor was re jetted to larger size jets to feed the proper amount of fuel
(BTU)to the engine in relation to the volume of air used.
