toastemcutlass Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 wow thats strange, ive never seen that, what kind of car is that from? Quote
supreme_style21 Posted August 30, 2003 Author Report Posted August 30, 2003 Came from an earlier Lumina Quote
idbeast Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 That is a doctored picture, look at the miscolorization around the variable fuel, copy it into corel draw or adobe and zoom in on it you will see the sh$^%%y cut and paste work. :read: Quote
supreme_style21 Posted August 30, 2003 Author Report Posted August 30, 2003 I dunno.. are the rest of the badges on the car and engine fake too? Here's the link to the rest of it all.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2429802862&category=6157 Quote
PaPaPooh Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 its not fake look at this this is the heading Federal test procedure emissions test results from ethanol variable-fuel Chevrolet Luminas here is the link http://www.ott.doe.gov/otu/field_ops/pdfs/sae_e85.pdf Quote
mdelorie Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 This is a very interesting car. I've never seen a Lumina with a cluster like that, OR with manual windows. :? Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 it isinteresting..... that cluster looks kinda cool.... Quote
toastemcutlass Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 i thought all the low model luminas had that gauge cluster and the manual windows? i know that i've driven a couple at my work that the interior looked like that. Quote
kiwi133 Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 Hello! California tags! Duh! I have manual windows and the base cluster on my 92 lumina. http://www.idealcarsandtrucks.com/lum/14.JPG Does that indicator light say "%METHONOL"? Quote
mdelorie Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 oh... really? Wow, then that is REALLY low end... yuck. Methanol is kinda cool though. how would that work? separate injectors? Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 maybe it's like the propane/gasoline trucks, and is only a switch to go between tanks Quote
supreme_style21 Posted August 31, 2003 Author Report Posted August 31, 2003 Yeah but where do you fill up with methanol? I guess we don't have a methanol station here. Quote
Brian P Posted August 31, 2003 Report Posted August 31, 2003 Yeah but where do you fill up with methanol? I guess we don't have a methanol station here. Many security patrol cars, auxiliary police, electric company fleets use methanol cars. Not for general public use usually. Cmon doctored pics? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 They made 3.1 Luminas that ran on E85 or M85. That's fuel that's either 85% Ethanol or 85% Methanol. Not sure what the other 15% would have been composed of. They had different injectors, rails, fuel lines, and fuel tanks (I think). Anyway, all this is in the 90-94 Lumina parts catalog so it's the real deal. Quote
