"Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by power obtainable at any point in the universe… It is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature." -Nikola Tesla

Why should I convert?
Take advantage of tax credits, lower insurance premiums and drive the vehicle of your choice!
You can continue to enjoy all of these benefits while helping the US become independent from foreign oil and support the US economy. Turn your current vehicles into a flex-fuel vehicle with the installation of the our Flex-Fuel Conversion Kit. Continue to drive what you like using the fuel that gives greater performance and promotes a cleaner environment.
While U.S. automobile manufacturers are responding to the demand for flex-fuel vehicles, these vehicles currently represent less than one percent of all vehicles on the road. Our technology provides an inexpensive method for the majority of car owners to take advantage of E85 fuels available at a rapidly expanding number of fueling stations across the United States.
Will converting void my warranty?
No. Converting will not void a new car warranty. There are laws that protect the consumer. This link to the Federal Trade Commission explains the Magnuson-Moss Act in detail
Will converting to Ethanol damage the engine?
No. There are currently over 50,000 vehicles on the road using this conversion process to burn alcohol fuels. There have been no reports of engine damage due to the conversion. In fact, burning alcohol instead of gasoline has been shown to decrease engine oil contamination and extend engine life. Alcohol burns cooler than gasoline providing additional benefits in terms of engine life and performance.
Will I lose power from using Ethanol in my car?
No. Because Ethanol has a higher octane rating than most automotive grade gasoline you should notice a power increase. If you currently use regular or mid-grade gasoline you should see a significant boost in horsepower.
Is this the same as a chip?
No. Our unit utilizes its own standalone CPU to enable the vehicle’s fuel system to burn alcohol, gasoline, or any blend of the two fuels. The vehicle’s original computer is not bypassed. The vehicle continues to be controlled by the original sensors and ECU, but in such a way as to allow efficient burning of alcohol blends.
What if I sell my car?
The unit may be reused on any compatible vehicle with the same number of cylinders or less.
Is the device EPA certified?
The EPA has actually condoned converting vehicles, saying "... consumers who want existing vehicles to accommodate ethanol-blended gasoline beyond E10 might have to modify engines..."
They never suggest that such modification may be subject to EPA certification.1
Also, according to the EPA, our modification does not violate the Anti-tampering law as long as we have a reasonable basis for knowing that emissions are not adversely affected.2
We do have a reasonable basis for knowing that emissions are not adversely affected:
According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture:
Ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline:
Ethanol vehicles reduce harmful hydrocarbon and benzene emissions when compared to vehicles running on gasoline: and
Ethanol can also reduce carbon dioxide (C02),3
NOTE: Even though we believe use of our product does not violate the Anti-tampering law, we are proceeding with EPA approved testing to demonstrate the effectiveness of our conversion system.

Will the unit work with any car?
Most vehicles with throttle bodies, multi-port and sequential fuel injection systems can successfully be converted.
Should I take any precautions before running my vehicle on E85?
Yes. We highly recommend that you treat your engine with the included Engine Treatment and Fuel Treatment before running on alcohol. This helps clean the fuel system and protects the engine from corrosion.
