Ethanol
Hi,
With the soaring gas prices I was thinking (I bet I'm not the first one) is it possible to use Ethanol/Gas mix in my 5.4L Triton?
If Yes, what mods I need to do and what is the max ethanol %/gas% mixture?

Maybe this can help..
Read it on MSN, they have a list on the bottom of the site of the vehicles that can run it, not sure if there are others or not. Somewhere in here i read that it should be in our owners manuals, as well as on the FORD website (do a search on google too)

If memory serves me right, there is a thread about this already if you wanna search for more info.
I know Ethanol is kinda hard to find. But way cheaper if you CAN run it!

If your truck is set up the same as ours in the states, you can run up to 10% ethanol (Made from corn not soybeans). It has been documented that up to 30% will not harm your truck. What is the cost of gas for you? Here in South DAkota it ranges from $2.50 to $3.00 depending on grade and location.
