Hello, i am trying to convert my 98 acura cl to run on alcohol. I have found alot of info on the conversion eccept that all of the stuff i can find pertains to carburated engines. I was wondering if you could tell me what changes i would have to make to my fuel injection system, so that i can complete the conversion. Thank you very much.

QUESTION: Bob:
I bought a used 2002 Toyota Prius 1st generation fuel cell and was wondering if the fuel cell goes out…can I just run the car on gas without replacing the battery. I hate to put out thousands$ on a new battery at this point.

ANSWER: Are you sure you have a fuel cell in a Prius? If so, there will be a hydrogen filler as well as a gas cap A standard Prius will work well with some loss of battery performance, but very poorly once the battery is bad. You might want to seek out a specific Prius owner’s group to explore your options in detail.

QUESTION: Bob:
It may not be a fuel cell….but it has a battery. I just dont know if I should trade it in…or take a chance on battery going bad. It has electronic power steering and every once in a while it goes haywire and the steering wheel shakes. Its $2000 + for that if it goes out…then $3000 for battery….crap …it gets 40 mpg…but the cost of repair could kill that savings.

Bob, I’m considering buying a new 2008/2009 hybrid vehicle, but don’t really know what’s best. I’m looking for good price, not too small, and I don’t want to give up a lot of power to save a little gas. I’ve heard good things about Toyota Prius and Nissan Altima Hybrid. I’ve heard not so good things about Saturn Aura. What are your thoughts on a reliable hybrid vehicle? Thanks for your time.
