You really know nothing of what went down then. The clerics were part of the removal Mossadegh. They were all for the nationalization of the oil industry, because they believed they were going to get a personal cut of it. When they realized that wasn’t going to happen, and that Mossadegh planned to institute land reform, breaking up their large feudal holdings, they turned on him and aided in the return of the Shah. They didn’t turn on the Shah until he announced his own land reform plan. If you are going to talk on a topic, at least do some basic research into the motives of the players. The mullahs are first, and foremost driven by their family holdings, which they use to support their personal status and support their religious schools.
A good number of cars made from 1999 to 2012 or so are fully E85 certified. It was a popular thing for a while. Not so much anymore due to priorities changing more from alternative fuels and fuel usage to carbon emissions from ICE engines.
and from an engine standpoint, any gasoline engine will run E85 with no issues. The certification comes from the fueling system. Fuel tanks and fuel lines are a bit different. But almost all normal gasoline blends are E10.
And the ones before that will run just fine on it. The changes were in the fuel lines and fuel tanks since ethanol tends to gel more than gasoline when left sitting.
Your falsehood that the shah obtained his position in 1925 from his father, without any US help.
This is untrue.
He got his TITLE in 1941, and this happened after a joint UK/Russian invasion to secure supply lines to the Middle East to take the fight to the Nazis there. His father was forced into exile because of this invasion, and so the son succeeded him.
He got his POSITION as absolute ruler of Iran with US and British help when they (the US CIA taking the lead) due to the 1953 coup that overthrew Mossadegh.
I think you have to leave it sitting for quite a while. That’s the reason with carbureted engines they recommend draining all fuel out of the carburetor before you let it sit for six months.
I know what it is. I didn’t realize people actually put it in their automobiles. My daily driver is a “performance vehicle” requiring 91+ octane. It can be heavily modified to run 88 but what’s the point? Worse performance and worse gas mileage? Potential engine damage even if “designed” for that much ethanol? Not interested in the type of vehicles built to handle 15% ethanol.
Actually ethanol is actually more energy dense than gasoline. You can run a higher compression ratio with it than you can with gasoline. Many amateur drag guys run E85 instead of race fuel. It’s a lot cheaper and is similar octane.
