Re: I love me some E85!

based on what i have read, that stuff has similar properties to alky/meth. so unless you drive it everyday, it will absorb water more realily from sitting in the driveway waiting for you to play on the weekend. as mentioned earlier, it will oxidize alumnium parts and can mess up some rubbers in the fuel system. but as you obviously have seen it will make more power!

Portsmouth has it in the Shipyard. Ask someone you know to get it for ya.

The shipyard in porstmouth doesn't have a pump that just anyone can get to. It's for our vehicles here. It also requires a "credit card" to access.

Go ahead and have your friends "steal" from that pump and see what happens. Ask the guys who were stealing monel.

I figured you could just pay whoever in the yard for the gas. I didn't know all that was required. But really I don't care and nor will I ever need to get gas from the shipyard because I live in the beach, we have it for the public.

At the same boost/load level, I am using about 25% more fuel to maintain a safe air-fuel.

At cruise, I'm learning that you can run the car MUCH leaner than you can a gasoline car, to conserve fuel. I'm running about 15% more fuel at cruise.
