There have been some comments lately about the effects of ethanol on our cars and in particular carbbed type 4 engines.Zach is switching from carbs to modern fuel injection due to the effects of the E10 on his driveability and I had a problem spring before last where my valves gummed up with a sticky residue and dropped a seat.
My question is do the guys that are running a 9550 cam and Djet notice any effects from the E10 fuel?What is the driveability as opposed to a carbbed engine? |

The new fuels run hotter becuase they have extra oxygen in them from the alchohol, which can cause lean running. This added heat can lead to valve failure if the head gets too hot from running lean.
The D-jet will not automtically compensate for this. An injection system that uses an oxygen sensor will compensate, but the poor old D-jet cant. So yes the new fuels can make your motor run too hot. maybe not a probelm for all 914's but certainly can be for some. |
