Do you guys ever top off with e85

[Makowski17]

Title kinda sais it all. Looking to eliminate some knock and I was wondering if anyone ever adds a gallon or 2 of e85 on a full tank?

Yes, but it won't fit "on a full tank". ?

Yes people do, there is a thread or two about it if you search.

Why do you have knock on pump gas? Instead of slapping a band aid on it, get to the root cause.

It's when I run the maperformance stage 2.. I just ordered a base map from eqt a day ago, waiting the file email

And I do agree with you for sure. I was looking through my datalogs to see if its fuel spark or air... so I got an intercooler yesterday, gunna regap the plugs, and then maybe its fuel so I'm gunna boost octane.. if it doesn't go away, then I can start assessing each factor more closely and specific. But basically I am trying to get the root cause. Raising octane isn't a bandaid if gas isnt of quality

just gotta find a close e85 station, if you can do it, it will help. I havn't done this but am looking into options as the closest station is 40 minutes away

I put two gallons of E85 in before filling the rest with 93 each time.

Still on the stock tune but noticed how much it helped with timing not being cut and a much smoother idle so have continued using it.

Wow,

What a great idea.
I wish there was a thread discussing e85.
