E10 is better than E85. You've obviously fallen into the trap of the great marketing generated by the distributors of E85. Now I'm not calling you an idiot, please don't take offense to my post. It's

Curiousity really, see if there is any possible benefit or if it is just a waste of time. I dont have much interest in chasing power or changing the stock setup past removing restrictions, so shit like this is my Niche.

Plus love to prove the "bandwagoners" who comment alot and know very little.

It's a waste of time, if you're shit keen on it buy an aftermarket ECU and tune it on E10 - the cheap shit (not P100 E10)

Your car will run shit, your economy will be shit.. essentially you're running less timing to compensate for this fuel, which is usually inconsistent too.

E10 is made for lawn mowers and whipper snippers

Most probably will be the case.

if you're tight, just run 95 RON - get toshi to remap your stock rich as fek ECU and happy days.. more economy, more drivability - done.

Ahh.. E10 will make more power. Not less. E10 is a better burning fuel and that's why it is used in all new cars. Ask the police about their f6 and gts. They will tell you the same thing.

Yeh actually I think you will find that E10 is part of a government initiative to push renewable fuel sources. Clever marketing campaigns to promote the stuff make it sound like it turns Excels into top fuel dragsters, in reality it is a lower octane fuel and will make less power. It is a fuel designed to reduce our fossil fuel usage and lower our carbon footprint, nothing else.

E85 on the other hand, that's sorcery and witchcraft in a bottle :devil:

P.S Woot, first post here in months :laugh:

It's the same as when someone was saying a lower comp engine is better for turbo, when in reality and high comp engine will make more power and is naturally stronger. Often in trade we call them a low 'strength' engine and high strength. This has been covered before.

"Unleaded E10 is United Petroleums ethanol-based unleaded petrol offering. As a result of ethanol being present, it has an octane rating of 95; higher than the 91 octane of normal unleaded petrol. Ethanol is a natural octane enhancer - adding ethanol to petrol boosts the octane number and its performance. It also helps the other components in petrol burn more completely thereby having a cleaning effect on a cars fuel system."

Off United's site.

How can E10 be 91 RON when the base is 91 RON then blended with a higher (ethanol) product?

good to see not everyone is a simpleton :thumbsup:

So a 91 or 95 octane fuel (E10) is better then a 105 octane fuel (E85)?

Whatever the case is with the RON of E10, I think there is no doubt they wont be using their 'best of the batch' 91 octane fuel in it

E10 is not better. If you think its better, why arent you putting it in your car? go and do it, tell me how that goes. I've used it in N/A Cars and performance and economy both suffered.

Seeing that E85 is blended with 91 at the bowser, would they be blending that with "not their best batch" also?

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
