Old Vehicles & Cars Need Tuning for Gasohol
A report from an Indian newspaper recently mentioned that old vehicles, especially two-wheelers such as bikes and motorbikes using carburettors, will have to modify their vehicles for using petrol (gasoline) blended with 10% ethanol which the Indian government has decided to introduce from November 2007.
The modifications will need to be made in changes and adjustments in rubber hoses and pipelines of the fuel system of vehicles. There are over 5 lakh (half a million) such cars including popular models such as Maruti 800, Maruti Gypsy, Ambassador and Omni. There are over 50 lakh ( 5 million) motor-bikes that use carburetor fuel systems.
According to the report, the initial phase of ethanol blending, which requires only 5% ethanol addition, would not require any such changes as these will not affect the carburettor working.
