I have the spec sheet and it specifically mentions ULP (98 octane) in a ratio of 15% to 85% ethanol. It also contains 9mg/L of corrosion inhibitor and green dye.

I can happily email this spec sheet to anyone who is interested.

Trent how much are you charging per ltr? Is it available only by the drum? Very interested in how things go with this. Are you charging the same price per hour for an E85 tune as for a 'normal' tune?

At the moment, we are only selling it in a 200L drum, but I am sure we will be able to sell smaller quantities if you bring your own drum for us to fill up.

As for dyno rates, yes there is no difference in price (that goes for 98 octane, tol/98, E85, C16 etc, its always the same rate). If you want an estimate on a tune, just PM me. I might even throw in some free e85! :action-smiley-069:

Yes I need a definitive answer on the other 15% as I have a map on my Motec M400 tuned specifically for ELF branded E85 which is 15% 98 octane, everytime, doesn't differ per barrel.

I answered this in a prev post, just wanted to say I would definitely suggest a power run if you change fuel brand. Better to be same! If you buy a 200L e85 from us, I will throw in the power run to make sure your tune is safe.

Is there any information on how long will the fuel last before going off once opened? Ie if I buy a 200l drum and use it over a 3-6 month period...

Cheers

Hey Michael,

The thing to make sure is that it is always in a sealed container. This will allow the fuel to create its own atmosphere and will stop it absorbing moisture. What I do with my fuel is keep it in a sealed 200L drum until I get down to about 100L, then I put that into 5x 20L drums, to reduce the space above the fuel. It has a very long shelf life, so I would think you could easily keep it like this for 12+months.

I've had E85 stored in 200L after opening for over 12 months before, didn't seem to have any affect

The CSR E85 is the best on the market, I know people who have used ELF E85 and CSR E85 - Everyone is saying CSR gives a better result and has added protection with a corrosion inhibitor.

G'day Brett, welcome to the forums mate.

Gday, the other 15% is Caltex Vortex Premium 98.

Caltex has been proven in a couple of different tests to be the best 98 on the market.

Ive recently learned that Mercury Motorsport has been appointed the official QLD distributor for CSR E85. Trent informed me during a brief chat at the track the other day he has scored the ditribution rights for this fuel in QLD. This is exactly the same fuel as is being currenlty used by AVESCO in the V8 supercar series. Trent is about to recieve the first delivery of the new fuel and is keen to show some back to back tests against not only regular unleaded but also some of the more expensive race fuels.

Im keen to see some results.

awsome

I saw the data sheet and indeed it is, alot of the cheaper E85 mixes are using 91 octane for the other 15% so thats good to hear.

Will hopefully be buying some drums in the near future :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
