E85 Storage And Hand Pumps

[scotty nm35]

I run both Caltex and United on the same tune with no issues.

On the road the variation between the two would barely be noticeable. As long as you tune for the higher ethanol percentage the afr's will only become richer anyway.

Full flex tune baby haha

Make sure you earth the drum to the car (or whatever you're filling), static can be a nasty surprise when dealing with fuel. A jumper lead will work just fine.

well apparently the red plastic 20L bottles are better for e85 so that shouldnt be an issue

The difference between 70% (caltex) and e85 (united) will not be noticeable in terms of power and response.. Because there usually isn't any.. Only on mega boost levels will it make a difference.. The extra 15% is just a fudge factor

Flex tune is good

[scotty nm35]

We are only talking about what, a 4% difference in fuel requirements between e85 and e70? not a huge deal. Is a flex tune really warranted for swapping between them?

[GTR_JOEY]

Probably not.. I just like it cause on long drives I can run pump without having to drain most of the ethenol

[scotty nm35]

I'm secretly hoping someone will work out how to set up the Fcon Vpro with the new Haltech ethanol sensor, I heard it's only a couple of hundred... I will probably have to work it out myself as usual.

Does anyone have detailed information on them yet?

That was my plan, but I love E85 so much I hardly swap to pump 98 lol

You'll run pump if you have to drive to Albury or Brisbane like me haha

Haha I'll give it a go on the next trip to wakie and see what Milage I can get

[scotty nm35]

I think a Servo at Albury and one at Yass would see me to Sydney fairly easily. A long range tank would be great though until then, it takes too long to fill with the jerries.

I will have 100L capacity soon, once the 20L poly surge tank goes in. Still not enough.
