Flexible-fuel vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Flexible fuel vehicles as identified by the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition Originally, sensors in both the fuel-line and in the exhaust system were used for flexible fuel vehicles. A flexible-fuel vehicle or dual-fuel vehicle is an automobile or truck (lorry) that can typically alternate between two sources of fuel. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flexible-fuel_vehicle   (956 words)

Alcohol as a fuel These vehicles are often labeled dual fuel or flexible fuel vehicle s, since they can automatically detect the type of fuel and change the engine's behavior to compensate for the different ways that they burn in the engine cylinders. Proposals to use alcohol as a fuel are generally concerned with its use in transportation, chiefly as a total or partial replacement for gasoline in car s and other road vehicles. Fuel alcohols can be produced from a variety of crops, such as sugarcane, sugar beet s, maize, barley, potato es, cassava, sunflower, eucalyptus, etc. Two countries have developed significant bio-alcohol programmes: Brazil (ethanol from sugarcane) and Russia (methanol from eucalyptus). www.nebulasearch.com /encyclopedia/article/Alcohol_as_a_fuel.html   (4801 words)

Ford Motor Company - Ethanol Vehicles Vehicles designed to operate on E85 are called Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs) and can function on either conventional gasoline, ethanol, or a combination of the two within the same tank. Ethanol vehicles are called Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) due to their ability to run on Ethanol (E85), gasoline or any combination of the two fuels. Vehicles fueled by ethanol actually use E85, a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. www.ford.com /en/vehicles/specialtyVehicles/environmental/ethanol.htm   (320 words)

EIA - Energy Glossary - F The fuel injectors are usually solenoid operated valves under the control of the vehicle's on-board computer (thus the term "electronic fuel injection"). Fuel emergencies: An emergency that exists when supplies of fuels or hydroelectric storage for generation are at a level or estimated to be at a level that would threaten the reliability or adequacy of bulk electric power supply. Vehicles that are considered "off-road" (e.g., farm or construction vehicles) or demonstration vehicles are not to be counted as fleet vehicles. www.eia.doe.gov /glossary/glossary_f.htm   (5664 words)

Encyclopedia: Hybrid car Fuel efficiency, sometimes also referred to as fuel economy and commonly gas mileage in the United States, is a numeric measure often used to describe the amount of fuel consumed with regard to the distance travelled in a transportation vehicle, such as an automobile. An electric vehicle is a vehicle that is propelled by electric motors. Diesel fuel is a specific distillate fraction of fuel oil that is used in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and perfected by Charles F.

New vehicles use energy efficient, Minnesota-grown fuel No special instructions are required to operate the vehicle -- a computer inside the car determines the blend of fuel being used, whether it’s gas, E85 or both, and makes the necessary internal adjustments. FFVs are designed to operate with either standard gasoline or an ethanol-based fuel called E85 -- a mix of 15 percent gasoline and up to 85 percent ethanol, which is derived from corn and other starch products. The E85 fuel also offers many benefits to the consumer, including an economical price for fuel that, especially recently, is lower than the price of standard gasoline. www.isanticountynews.com /2000/august/22fuel.html   (509 words)

Green Car Congress: Plug-in Hybrids Part of Final Energy Bill Section 706 of the Energy Bill (Joint Flexible Fuel/Hybrid Vehicle Commercialization) establishes a program to develop and to commercialize either a combination hybrid/flexible fuel vehicle or a plug-in hybrid/flexible fuel vehicle. Hybrids are the return of the electric vehicle, in a disguised form. When you combine wind farms, modems, and variable rate chargers, you could essentially charge up hybrids when the wind is blowing, and even sell that electricity back to the grid when the wind stops -- thereby resulting in cheap, green charges when the wind is blowing and money making when it stops. www.greencarcongress.com /2005/07/plugin_hybrids_.html   (1069 words)
