Announcement regarding E85
Updated: Thursday 23rd April, 2009

The international FSAE rules have for some years included the option of running E85. For nine years FSAE-A have excluded the option of using E85, mainly based on our ability to manage two fuels with our resources and the local industry position.
To keep in line with current thinking and industry direction, this year the FSAE-A consortium has decided to lift the ban and allow E85 as an option for those teams that so desire. Several institutions had contacted SAE-A and requested the local competition allow the use of E85.
 
We appreciate well that for many a change to E85 would incur considerable cost hence it as an option and not mandated.
At the same time the Consortium expressed preference to make it mandatory for 2010, however we have no intention of doing anything that is not in the best interest of all competitors and so welcome any feedback from the teams.
Having said that, it makes sense to work towards such an outcome, but timing is not a critical factor for the Consortium.  
As for the long term viability of Ethanol as a fuel, we like many will be watching with interest.
 
Regards
FSAE-A.
