Dave ,you were close ,"consumer gas" was made by the fumes driven off of coke ,in ovens


Well I was close........coal is used to make coke.....and producer gas was made using the coke derived from the coal.



From Wikepedia:

Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. It is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulphur bituminous coal. Cokes made from coal are grey, hard, and porous. While coke can be formed naturally, the commonly used form is synthetic. The form known as petroleum coke, or pet coke, is derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes.

Coke is used in preparation of producer gas which is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen (N2). Producer gas is produced by passing air over red-hot coke. Coke is also used to manufacture water gas.


Are you ready to let this thread go back to being a Savage related topic? Huh  (Please)

I meant to include this link in my above post......I missed doing so.

This Harley is fuel injected and it has been remapped, and the computer can make changes to allow premium to be used when E85 is not available.  Unfortunately this same option isn't going to work on the Savage with a carb, and jetting for E85 is going to make gasoline no longer an option (the engine will likely run dangerously lean).  This Harley was already converted to be high compression - but they don't say what ratio.

It is a shame he doesn't have a temperature gauge to reflect his opinion that the bike runs cooler......or any proof that the bike makes more power.

I am not promoting your use of E85.....but if you feel the need to experiment in the garage instead of just going riding - have at it.

I have already experimenting with E85 on cars bikes dirt bikes motorcycles lawn mowers drag cars streetcars I put it in just about every engine out there if you get it right it'll run cooler and it does make a little more torque but not much when the Motor stock but when you raise the compression you will make more power small block Chevy she makes about 10 to 15 foot pounds torque more just by swapping to E85 Moss motor rebuild for a buddy of mine we downloaded on gas swap it over to E85 in the motor made on gas and made 598 horse 510 foot pounds of torque switched it to E85 it made both the same horsepower little more 600 I think but it did go to 600 foot pounds of torque that motor was 14 .5.1 street motor he drives up everyday in the summer horse gram 350 horse and nitrous to it on corn makes more power then I did on gas that's just one of the recent Motors I've done

OK....enough about theory and other cars/bikes.

Keep us informed about the Savage related ethanol progress.
