Do they let you google this in China? Or you just want other people to do your research for you? You could probably find a company in China that makes something...

Can I making E85 through a mixture of gasoline and alcohol by myself ?
Mix one 55 gallon drum of pure Ethanol with 10 gallons of race gas and there you go.
And then you can run it in your car with nothing but a tune. (you trust the words of some unkonwn person on the internet dont you?)

Luckily you are not in the US.
If you mentioned that you were blending your own gas here, the police would shut you down.

There are laws against making your own fuel in the US.

I am pretty sure that Google in China isn't quite the same as Google in the US...

The direct answer to your question is yes, you could make your own E85 although it is far more than mixing gasoline with alcohol. It is very likely you could not afford the required equipment to do it and it may not be legal in China.

As many others have noted, the corrosive nature of E85 makes a flex fuel kit a necessity.

I'm guessing this kid's parents have the money, but this kid has none of the sense to make it (not) happen.

Not according to many on this forum that have been doing it for over a year with no flex fuel kit at all.

As far as I know, the flex fuel kits don't change out any major parts of the fuel system; they only add in an ethanol content analyzer. So the flex fuel kit doesn't address the corrosive nature of E85 at all (if it even needs to be addressed--time will tell.)

You're thinking of their version of Twitter. I have no idea who their primary search provider is.

Gotcha! Ain't that some *&^(. That explains the asking of the question! As others have stated, yes you can do it.. is it simple? Not from what I've seen. I would work without it if I was you. Can you do a meth injection as a work around?
