Concept from FIAT runs on 3 different fuel types

Fiat will unveil a concept car that burns three different types of fuel at the Paris Auto Show which opens on Sept. 30. The Multipla Multi-Eco will run on regular gas, a mixture of gas and ethanol (E85 or 15 percent petrol and 85 percent bio-ethanol), and methane.


The the bio-ethanol and the petrol can be poured into the same tank. The engine software monitors the mixture and changes the injection properties according to the type of fuel.
