29-09-11, 15:43 GMT+10#41 E85 seems to be the ****! Down side is the stuff at the servos is crap. Cant go for a long cruise or anything like that because you will run out of fuel. Think ill stick to 98 for the street and c16 for racing..

if u are using e85 from the drum and u end up running out on a cruise u can still use e85 from the sevo it still runs fine just dont give it a hard time thats what i do if i go on a long cruise and haven't had a problem and there is enough servos now to get were u need to i still get around 350k's per tank(85lt)

Thats good to hear mate,I've been tossing up weather to run it or not and the only reason i wasnt going to was the fact i love going on a big cruise.

I believe this is correct, My tuner tested it approx 3 months ago at 90%, I tested it last week at 89% so 1% difference, I would say that could come down to the actual test, or how much water was used.
I also tested caltex last week in Springvale Vic and came in at 75%.
If running it from the pump I'd be running United and am doing so.

30-09-11, 11:17 GMT+10#48 I guess as long as your tuner knows you are running from the pump he will tune as per 70-75%.
Mine does ,so i am happy with caltex.

From what I have been told you can now get flexi fuel sensors which work out how much ethanol is in the fuel and adjust the tune to suit (same as what the new Commodores run). I was told you can them for Haltechs, not sure about any other brands. Sounds ideal though.
