Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[dano4127]

Does anyone have a definite list of stations stocking E85?

I am working on a facebook group to get the word out on E85:

i did a service on the car after the 2 weeks of running e85.

The fuel filter was blocked. When i mean blocked i mean you really had blow hard to get any air going through the friggin thing. Now i have been lazy and have not changed the filter in about a year as well so that might have had something to do with it.

Another thing i noticed is the line between the steel fuel line to the fuel filter had cracks all over it, kinda feels perished, it will need to be replaced in the next week or so.

I also got 450km's to a tank of Mobil Synergy 8000 (98) over the weekend, mixture between freeway driving (300km's) and around town.

So yeah the difference in a tank of fuel is about 130km's

did you check this stuff before? is t deff from the 85?

[Kinks]

fuel filter would be as every page i've read says change your fuel filter after a tankful of E85, it loosens all the shit in your tank. perished hose would probably have more to do with the gigawatts he's running under the bonnet

Nope. have not checked it in over a year but i did read you need to check after you run e85. so i did.

Filter was soo blocked hey, ive never seen a filter so blocked before. EVER.

Did you cut the filter open to ensure it was blocked from gum and shit rather than the media collapsing?

Which brand filter was it? The usual ryco?

[Guilt-Toy]

nah... i think i have chucked it out tooo... just a standard ryco.. if i still have it i will find a way to hack it up

Hi all , just heard mention of E85 being sold at some servo on the Hume Hwy near Woodville road ? Sydney that is .

Does anyone know where it is ?

Cheers A .

[discopotato03]

From another site , it's supposed to be the first servo on the left hand side past the Mechano set (intersection of Hume Hwy/Liverpool Rd and Woodville Rd) heading south . I believe it's locked and you need to go inside and see Sid who will check your car out for it .

I'd just like to be able to get it in my fuel containers so hopefully that won't be a problem .

I can understand servo owners being a bit concerned about letting people toss it in the tanks of cars not specifically designed to run it . In proper fuel containers it should be ok and relieve them of any legal dramas .

Cheers A .

Excellent thread, Guilt Toy. There is some very good info' in here.

It would appear, after reading your results, and info' on other sites, that the E85 'picture' is looking very good indeed.

I've elected to upgrade to 780cc injectors, which would appear to be more than capable of supporting mid 300rwkw based on your results.

The plan is to do a tune for 98, 110 Martini and E85. I'll be sure to post my results - aiming for sometime later this month (20th?).

[Guilt-Toy]

hey mate

I think i played wow with your girlfriend a few times lol

Anyway i think once you play around with e85 you won't look back. its a great fuel to use because its too cheap post your results should be good.

I see in Adelaide there is a shortage of E85 and most the servos were sold out!

[dano4127]

has the price of E85 stayed the same with the reduce in oil prices?

Hey mate,

Ah yes, good ol' whatshername hey?

I'm certainly hoping that's the case. Will do.

Hopefully the situation is rectified prior to the 20th. I don't need much, half to a tank will do - for starters.

you will go through a half a tank in NO time on the dyno

price wise e85 is pretty stable, it stays around 1.20 as petrol goes 1.40-1.60.

Thanks for the heads-up. I guess it stands to reason that dyno tuning to suit the E85 is going to chew through a fair quantity.

i used half a tank in 2 hours

I have been told that E85 totally cleans your fuel system, even cleans the gunk out of your fuel tank.

So the fuel filter is needed to be changed very regularly until the system is completely clean.

Pretty soon most of the carbon will be out of the engine and your oil will come out as clean as it went in.

So i think a new fuel filter every 500km is on the cards for a while.
