December 18, 2009: Alkol Inc, a Delaware, USA based company, is introducing to the USA, Europe and other countries a new technology that allows any car to run on any amount of gasoline or ethanol E85 in less than one hour.
The system, called ‘1HourFlex’ has three components, an Electronic Converter which alters fuel injector timing, an Ignition Remapper which alters the spark plugs’ firing time, and a Cold Start System, which allows the engine to quickly start on cold days (ethanol requires higher temperatures than gasoline to run properly).
The company sells the individual components of its conversion system to anyone who can install it, but the main focus is on its conversion service. The company is slowly entering the US market and is looking at a price of about $900 for the entire system already installed. Its plans are to close deals with E85 fuel pumps to allow the system to be installed and cars to fuel up immediately afterwards.
