Need help (what type of connector do I Need install on my car ?)

Hello everyone,

I'm glad that I've found such great forum.

Guys, I hope that you can help me...
In order to save some money on fuel, I'm planing to install the ethanol e85 kit on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 and run it on ethanol,
One of my friend uses the kit from this French manufacturer (www.ecofuelbox.com) but the problem is they have 4 models and 6 type of connectors, and I'm not sure which kit fill fit my Dodge. Can someone tell me, what type of connector do I need for my Dodge Ram ?

Regards,
Davis

Are you located in the USA? If you are, you need to REALLY look at the fuel consumption numbers of E85 vs E10. E85 will need to be almost 1/2 the price of E10 for you to break even.

Ethanol and Methanol have about 2/3 the heating value of combustion of gasoline. Therfore you will need to burn significantly more to go the same distance. Since the price ratio of E85 is higher in comparison to the energy ratio, you will pay more too.
