Also what percentage alcohol does a foxeye run best on?
You might need to rejet if you intend to run on pure ethanol, but distilling your potato hooch is going to require a lot of energy. You'll probably end up paying as much to your utility provider as you save at the petrol pump.If money's that tight, switch your diet to one based on baked beans: they're cheap. Plus, if you drill a 2" hole through the seat of the Fazer and add a short length of pipe to the airbox, the resulting methane emissions will usefully enhance the mpg figure.
I'm just starting a new job which involves a pay cut so we've had to make a few cut backs. My Mrs suggested I don't ride as much (of course she didn't suggest fucking off her horse!) I'm thinking of getting some spuds and making some moonshine to try or fitting LPG tanks to save cash. Anyone else tried this? Can you fit a gas tank under the seat? Or wound it be better with 2 smaller ones under the fairing infils? Also what percentage alcohol does a foxeye run best on?
I distill my own spirit and make whiskey etc. from it, the net cost to me is around £3.50 per 700ml bottle (£5.00 per litre)The net cost of the raw spirit that comes out of the still at 55% - 60% ABV is around £4.00 per litre. So I don't reckon your going to make much of a saving going from petrol to alcohol.
