E85 Fuel

[rubaduckee]

hi guys I did a search but couldnt find anything.

I was thinking of tuning my vx ls1 with a turbo to the new E85 fuel, what do you guys think of the E85 - negatives vs positives?

Do a search on where u can buy it first before u even think of it.
I beleave u can`t get fuel everywhere.
Correct me if I am wrong.

yea did a search, as I am only after the pump E85 its not so much of an issue, there are 2 servos within 20 mins from me.

ive found some United Servos that sell the stuff.. Havnt seen it at anything like Shell BP or nothing.. Would the car work running from straight E85? ..

I thought the E85 was a racing fuel? I cant believe that the united are selling it, have they made cars that use the E85?

Thought that was the whole point of the VE series 2 commodore ? runs on E85

yep they do

i'd assume you would have to change the whole fuel system otherwise it would do what e10 does =S correct me if im wrong

saw an article in wheels or drive a while back... did a test and found as far as feul consumption goes its pretty bad, v-power was still better in terms of $/km
also if the engine wasnt designed for that kind of feul i wouldnt be swapping without a fair bit of research

but your using less oil :P so its a good concept although its more expensive

edals thanx for that info,also the other day I pulled into a metro servo and they had a pump there which had E80 fuel written on it
