Thread: E-85

Normally i would never go to U-gas but now i have no choice.

E85 is 85% Ethanol, and 15% gasoline.

Just like E10 you see at the pump now. 10% Ethanol, and 90% gasoline.

Go figure U-Gas is the station selling it

You could not pay me enough to put their gas in my car. I once pumped their gas when I was on nitrous and everytime I sprayed the car it would break up real bad. I finally went through that tank and pumped Shell gas and when I sprayed the car it went clean as a whistle.

That's were everyone get's it from. The Marathon station by Esserman Nissan sells it also. I believe they are American oil companies.

What happened to the tranny or gear stacks?

4th gear stripped like corn on the cob. I spun 3rd then pulled 4th and that was it. Not as easy as the other boxes to fix but i fixed it.

What u guys wanna know about e85? I'm running it in my supra. It's great fuel by the downside is that it sludges around the injectors so every 3500 miles u gotta pull rm and wipe them off. I made 660whp an 600tq with a super conservative tune I'm going back in march on bigger injectors should make close to 800. There's a guy local that blew up because supposedly it create water in the cylinders don't know how much of that is true. To run it safer upgrade ur injectors fuel pump and preferably fuel lines. It's a 110oct rating but it requires 30percent more fuel but my car runs alot better than it does on pump gas likes cold start and idles alot better too

E85 doesnt create water, but it does mix with it. If you get condensation or any amount of water in the tank it can cause big problems.

I used an entire can of starting fluid trying to start my buddies car the other day when it was under 20* out. Cold start with big injectors sucks balls.

Yes it does. I have to keep my foot on the gas and keep it around 2krpm in the morning just to keep it idling for the first few minutes. What a pain!

Ah, the joys of driving a turbo'd daily...
