Rob,


I heard you mention you worked for Delphi Corp. Last night I was just
reading a PDF file on how the Univ. of Nebraska guys were using your
company's injectors because they have a model designed for flex fuel
vehicles. The UN of N. guys enter a yearly competition which aims at
increasing the driveabilty of the vehicle while under the influence of
alcohol. In the engine that is:)
I am having no luck of finding injectors model numbers and data that
will
handle gasoline or E-85. Can you point me to a source?


Thanks

You just have to hunt them down in whatever car they go in. I cant
really get involved with that but I can ask some people I know. Just go
searching for Multec 3.5 injectors. I'll tell you more if I find out
anything.

Doug,

The 2003 5.3L Chev V-8  with Flexfuel (ETHANOL/GAS (E85)) uses fuel
injector #12580426.  Cost at dealer is $139 retail, $111 wholesale

Rob,

Thanks. I did a Google search and found lots of info and useful PDFs.  This
injector can run on 100% ethanol as well. No luck with finding tech.
specifications on actual components yet.

Joel,

Do you know the duty cycle and flow specs for that particular model number?
I will need a total of four injectors for the one/half Leman's engine I am
building. If I run E-85 then they will have to have 20% more capacity or run
at a higher duty cycle.  I am guessing the ones above may be to small as the
300 hp 5.3L engine has eight of them.

It is interesting to note that USA auto manufactures produced over 2 million
Flex fuel autos last year.   The number of service stations across USA where
you can actually buy E-85? .... about  174 locations.
