I have the spec sheet and it specifically mentions ULP (98 octane) in a ratio of 15% to 85% ethanol. It also contains 9mg/L of corrosion inhibitor and green dye.

I can happily email this spec sheet to anyone who is interested.

Trent how much are you charging per ltr? Is it available only by the drum? Very interested in how things go with this. Are you charging the same price per hour for an E85 tune as for a 'normal' tune?

At the moment, we are only selling it in a 200L drum, but I am sure we will be able to sell smaller quantities if you bring your own drum for us to fill up.

As for dyno rates, yes there is no difference in price (that goes for 98 octane, tol/98, E85, C16 etc, its always the same rate). If you want an estimate on a tune, just PM me. I might even throw in some free e85! :action-smiley-069:

Yes I need a definitive answer on the other 15% as I have a map on my Motec M400 tuned specifically for ELF branded E85 which is 15% 98 octane, everytime, doesn't differ per barrel.

I answered this in a prev post, just wanted to say I would definitely suggest a power run if you change fuel brand. Better to be same! If you buy a 200L e85 from us, I will throw in the power run to make sure your tune is safe.

Is there any information on how long will the fuel last before going off once opened? Ie if I buy a 200l drum and use it over a 3-6 month period...

Cheers

Hey Michael,

The thing to make sure is that it is always in a sealed container. This will allow the fuel to create its own atmosphere and will stop it absorbing moisture. What I do with my fuel is keep it in a sealed 200L drum until I get down to about 100L, then I put that into 5x 20L drums, to reduce the space above the fuel. It has a very long shelf life, so I would think you could easily keep it like this for 12+months.

I've had E85 stored in 200L after opening for over 12 months before, didn't seem to have any affect

The CSR E85 is the best on the market, I know people who have used ELF E85 and CSR E85 - Everyone is saying CSR gives a better result and has added protection with a corrosion inhibitor.

G'day Brett, welcome to the forums mate.

Gday, the other 15% is Caltex Vortex Premium 98.

Caltex has been proven in a couple of different tests to be the best 98 on the market.

Ive recently learned that Mercury Motorsport has been appointed the official QLD distributor for CSR E85. Trent informed me during a brief chat at the track the other day he has scored the ditribution rights for this fuel in QLD. This is exactly the same fuel as is being currenlty used by AVESCO in the V8 supercar series. Trent is about to recieve the first delivery of the new fuel and is keen to show some back to back tests against not only regular unleaded but also some of the more expensive race fuels.

Im keen to see some results.

awsome

I saw the data sheet and indeed it is, alot of the cheaper E85 mixes are using 91 octane for the other 15% so thats good to hear.

Will hopefully be buying some drums in the near future :)

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
