I'm considering installing a full flex fuel system for my 96' base sedan 850. The gas stations around my area are beginning to sell ethanol and regular unleaded separately and considering the price and emissions difference, a flex fuel system seems like a good investment. Does anyone know of any purpose made kit's or will I need to do some serious DIY work on this?
Thanks!

Should be interesting.

 

Just to note, ethanol has a much lower energy density than gasoline so while you will save at the pump, you will give it back in gas mileage (similar deal with diesel - the reason oil burners get 10-15% better mileage is that diesel packs that much more energy per gallon..)

Check this article out..

E85 vs. Gasoline Comparison Test

 

You'll use 25-40% more volume of fuel and 25-40% drop in mileage.

 

Its just not worth it, stick with gas.

I am tuned for e85. I mow through it. I used to get 29mpg and now get about 9mpg. Granted I have a serious lead foot but still, I see no reason to go that route.

 

I wouldn't invest money to convert the car to run on corn juice, I think the money is better spent keeping the Volvo well maintained.
