There are currently several companies
making E85 conversion kits for vehicles. Most are located overseas, but
there are a few US companies that produce or re-distribute E85
conversion kits.
In 1990 the EPA Clean Air Act Amendments implemented regulations that
required the exhaust emissions from vehicles converted to run on
alternative fuels be “as clean as the exhaust emissions of the original
gasoline equipment.” |

Today, 99.9 percent of the vehicles that are capable of operating on
alternative transportation fuels are produced by the original equipment
manufacturers Ford, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler. Engineers from
these US companies are able to design and build vehicles that meet the
EPA exhaust emission standards. These companies also are required to
warranty the exhaust emissions from these vehicles for 10 years or
100,000 miles. |
