hay boys, i did a search on this on the site and didnt really find out much info at all. and ive done a google search and didnt really get the answer's that i wanted either.

ive been hearing about this e85 fuel that america has been using for 10 years now and i hear that its going to come to out pumps in the future. thats how they get away with running 2000hp rigs on the street.

ive also heard that its got more octane then c16, round 160% and e85 is about 60% methanol, and its going to be cheaper then our normal 98% fuel we have at our pump nows. allllllllso been told that all new cars being made from the beginning of this year have been set up for this fuel as its cleaner then to burn into the atmosphere so thats why the goverment is pushed for it.

can anyone confirm this with any links to other websites?

cause if this is true, we can now get a cheap race fuel on tap, but our fuel systems will need a upgrade to take the mix of strong liquids in the fuel, rule lines are to be changed, fuel pumps, much bigger injectors as they will be squirting much more fuel.

ok stay safe.

Unless you live next door to a servo that sells E85 it's a waste of time (at present).

I have sized the entire fuel system on the race Z for E85.

Planning to take a 44 gallon drum to the United station to get the fuel. Word is that the octane rating is 110+ and many engines can be advanced past Bottom dead centre without detonation.

AND ITS CHEAP. :)

Sounds like a winner to me.

      ER34 RB25DE Auto - Would a flush ever fix an "A/T" light?

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to.

      I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD

      I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real

      Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
