The Official Unofficial E85 Ethanol Thread

[c4ypt1k]

You'll know when you see pressure drop in your logs. I think it will be fine on your TTE535.

Thanks for your reply.

On E10 fuel, running 28psi boost, my LPFP is at 78psi @2000rpm and 45psi @7200rpm

is this normal? My Golf R is UK model so no port injectors.

US model? I thought the ROW models got port injection.

Looking to switch to e blend on jb4, looking at buying gas tanks shortly here. Closest station is a bit 20 miles but i figure maybe buy 5 5 gallon tanks from amazon ill be ok. Question E is more corrosive, will normal gas cans be ok to store the e85? Im thinking ill do a 93 x gallon and e85 2-3 gallon for every fillup. Dont want the cans to get eaten up tho. I guess I could always travel with 1 2 liter gas can for safety idn. Shoot me your best setups for people that are not close to an e85 pump

Just don't drink it. Or just in moderation. ? Don't try that with methanol though.

But the stuff I got clearly says it’s juice
Looks to be cherry flavor too.

That does look tasty.

any one got any info on mixing E30? in the uk we don't have E pumps, been finding conflicting info regarding the bio ethanol fire place fuels, these state they are 99% ethanol, would they be ok for mixing up a E30 blend?

Not sure what the other 1% would be but probably but it sounds like it would be expensive. If you just want to raise octane try Torco octane booster.

sorry if this is a silly question, new to the corn fuels.

is there a big difference in power between E30 and E85 tunes? just picked up a great deal on a MPI setup so now have the fuel for what I need, E85 is hard to find here and expensive but could be worth a punt for drag days. my car is a Stage 3 BT car

if you have e85 mix 2-3 gallons in with 98 ron and your set.

 

[Diggs24]

E50 is about perfect. It's just annoying to blend especially as in my case they only sell US91 gas (95RON) which is rubbish and I have to go elsewhere for 93 gas (98RON). If you get an inline sensor and can mix there at one pump then aim for E50.

I was under the impression that you lucky people in the UK/EU already had MPI from the factory?

Not on the 7.5s

correct.

I'm going to mixing this stuff up using 1l bottles of fire place fuel (99% E) as we have no E pumps here at all.

is e50 going to hold a good gain over 99 or e30? littco recently posted a L450 car with e15 running 490hp
