hey has anyone used this e85 fuel if have let me know some feedback expercially running it on a v8 with 10.1 comp
Makes sure your engine is compatible. The current holden V8's aren't compatible I don't believe.
Apparently its Octane rating is F1 style of awesomeness! 104 or there abouts.
i've used it, got an extra 50kms per tank, car ran good, but my VS's comp is 9.4:1
run ur tank close to empty, half fill with e85 and see how she goes..
but if you want to continue to run it, just check to make sure it wont rust ur fuel pipes (from what i've heard, not confirmed)
You really need a new tune to run e85 as you need to put up the amount of fuel your putting and change timing and stuff to do it properly. Friend of mine put it in his torana drag car 11:1 compression had to up the jets 4 sizes and change timing when they put it in the dyno to get it right.
also use the search button too![]()
Dont use E85 it will eat the rubber fuel lines from the inside
the car needs set up to run it you cant just decide im gonna run E85 and fill it up it will be running way to lean you need to pump in more of it to get the right fuel ratio
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable
Sorry to hijack ya thread but what about E10? is that 95 or 98 octane... anyone know if its any good
i bought the new street commodores mag today and it reckons they're not selling the E85 anymore due to some bulls@#t beauracratic loophole, i really hope they're wrong cos apparently its great for making power once u get ya car set up and tuned for it
