No problems. If I get out somewhere they dont have e85 I can top it off with 87 if I have more then a half a tank. Besides its only $1.37 2 blocks from my house.

Che'_Moderator Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Your running e85 in a stock 850? And 15% is not going to hurt anything. Most of you guys are so pig rich anyways a little ethanol will dry the fuel and get your AFRs in check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightmopedman9 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 sounds stock to me lolYou need to build the engine to safe(ish)ly run e85, if the tolerances aren't tight enough you'll get e85 in your oil along with other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Thats kinda what I was getting at. A/F will be way out of whack on top of the fact you will see massive piston wipe unless you have the correct rings, or run a topend lube/ethanol safe oil. Methanol/Ethanol engines have been around decades. Nothing new here, but you do need to take basic precautions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 They aren't.They run a different top ring and are much less gap. They are usually built out of a more corrosive resistant metal also since the alcohol tends to collect in the ring lands. But thanks for playing.

Most of you guys are so pig rich anyways a little ethanol will dry the fuel and get your AFRs in checkI am convinced that the 10 to 15% does do catalyst damage in certain circumstances, proving it is a different story though. I do agree on a fat running modded car it won't hurt a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
