I don't know whether this has been discussed on here before?

E85 would be a great fuel/future fuel for old performance cars like the Cerbera.

So, any experts here know what you'd have to do to get a Cerbera running E85?

Replace injectors, fuel pump and possibly fuel pressure regulator. There may also be an issue in terms of fuel lines and fittings (in fact I'd put money on it!) not being E85 safe.
I suspect you'll have to jury rig some form of piggyback computer to allow additional cold start fuel or dual map when (or if) the UK switch between summer and winter blends.

You'll also get a 30% higher fuel consumption.... and I wouldn't expect much gain (if at all) in performance.

Oh dear!

Bit disappointing that, especially the increase in fuel consumption (not something a Cerb owner needs!).

thanks for the quick reply smile.
