Just do it then you can let us all know the difference between fuel immersion and fuel resistant :p:p:p

Only a handful of United outlets sell e85 in Perth.....249.9 per litre.

Nearest is a few suburbs away.

Might go and get some tomorrow and do a test with some 91 as well.

For the science.

Interesting.

We don't have E10 in WA so safe from that.

I can't find any mentions of ethanol being included in 91 online.

I'll roll the dice.

Still 6 months till Young Miss gets behind the wheel and I'll be there anyway (and at least 18 months till she is driving solo). I would think that if it is going to fail, it will fail by then.

And then there is always roadside assist which helped the young bloke when the pump died.
Mindarie BP on Hester and Marmion used to sell it.

Edit: back when it was not a BP. Maybe a United back then.

Took it for a quick spin around the block.

Car feels transformed.

So much more responsive.

Lifetime filter my arse… bloody BMW and there ilk.

You’d hope the car would wake up after struggling to get the fuel flow it wanted through that dirty filter.

OK.

Experiment is on.

Got 400mls of E85 for $1.

Have coated some rebar in JB so need to wait for that to cure.

I'll start a seperate thread tomorrow in the Pub and provide weekly updates.

With Young Miss having her Ls for a couple of months now and having done some 12 hours in the auto Outlander, we moved onto this today for the first time.

First move away from a stop and she nailed it.

A few stalls here and their after that but she did well overall for first time driving a manual.
