f1ss Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Just read an article. Looks like idahoBLKss beat GM to the E85. What do you all think? An engine that can run on gasoline, E85 and Compressed Natural Gas... http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/hotnews/1309_2015_chevy_silverado__cng_e85_compatible_ls_engine/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcsilveradoss Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Guys have been running E85 in LS engines for YEARS, not sure I am picking up what you are putting down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I guess this thread is worthless then, sorry I do not follow cars as much as you do (I have no idea they have been running e85 or CNG in LS engines for years). I am just your average SSS enthusiast. And thought it was very interesting how idahoBLKss is running e85 and now Chevy is producing these engines to run on it. Was simply giving him a compliment as I thought this was new technology. Sorry for the old news everyone. My bad. edit - thank you for the correction though Shaun, I thought this was new technology. Please do not take my response as being harsh, I know you are into vehicles much more than I am.

BLNAWAY Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 the new dodge 13' 1500 you can order em with the cng... but the say if the truck is in a accident that is over 5mph you HAVE to replace the tanks which can get spendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 03mass , the vehicles that were previously e85 friendly were labeled "flex fuel" and they have been around for a while now I em in no way the originator lol but I have been running the fuel for about 4 years now or so.

1BAD2K Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I wish there were more e85 stations local to me. I have one on the other side of town, but that about it. I would love to run "race fuel" (lol) from the pump. I could definitely up my boost! My 06 single cab came flex fuel from the fActory.

Link2603 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 The closet E85 station for me is 20 mins away but I think it will still be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you idaho, I do not know much about mixtures in this area. I just was not sure if e85 is the same "mixture" as flex fuel, I have not seen an e 85 station. Thank you for the correction and input everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
