Went to fill up this morning, and the E-Flex pumps were taped off. Spoke to the guy behind the counter and he said that Caltex are no longer bringing in stock of E85. He said that a couple of servo's still have a few weeks' stock, and then that's it. Anyone else heard this news? He suggested partitioning Caltex to keep E85 in SA. So if this is true... then the only place left is United. For me, the closest is probably the Adelaide airport station (which I hope is 24 hours... might not be). Unfortunately, my tuner says the United mix is higher ethanol content (about E80-E85 compared to Caltex E60-E70 ish). This is good for power, but probably means a retune. Or a calculated mix with some added '98. Nistune do flex-fuel sensors now, but that looks like costing another $2,500-3000 because a lot of re-tuning is required. Anybody else running E85?

Anyone here in sydney running E85 or E-Flex that's also got a zeitronix ethanol sensor kit (e.g. Alpha Omega kit) setup in their cars? Just want to know what the average ethanol rating the sensor shows, from what I've heard caltex in the central coast seems pretty consistent at E70-72. I'm targeting the E-Flex pumps at Ermington and Holsworthy as possible fill up servos, just wanted to know as ECU is currently prohibiting me from being able to utilise an ethanol sensor kit.
