E85 In Adelaide

nope rb25 here!

i've hear that you can go through a 1/4 of a tank in under 2 mins with them =(

thats less than two laps a mallala i highly doubt that

[Damo_R34]

I dunno, if you maxed out your 1600cc injectors, i reckon full boost would be like a throwing a bucket of water over yourself.

Correct me if im wrong, (probably!) but:

1600cc per min x 6 injectors = 9.6L of fuel per minute x 2mins = 19.2L of fuel every 2 minutes at maximum use of injectors?

700 hp at the fly should only be seeing around 55-65% duty with those puppies

so we all know by now caltex will start sell E85 next month.

proposed caltex sites to start selling E85 next month.

can iask..

im going to put my first fuel (e85) into the tank..

i will be draining the tank and cleaning it with pump fuel to remove any dirt..

do i have to drain the lines etc?

[wasnt me]

all we done with mine was take the fuel line off at the fuel filter and pump the fuel out using the fuel pump. then put a new fuel filter in the replaced the new fuel filter a few weeks later. i wouldnt worry about dropping the tank. just keep fresh filters in there so they dont block up.

[rad100]

ive got about 1/2 - 1/4 tank of premium atm.. so ill need to get that out.

[Madaz]

there should be a drain on the tank you can unscrew and get all the fuel out

[Krishy]

i am semi tempted to go the E85 once it is available at the caltex servos......and hopefully its not like Enfue that they will just stop supplying it after a few weeks

Caltex E85 news

E85 is great for a track car. I am running +9 degrees over the BP98 map. I have run out of Injector though(1000cc)

Mind you cold start requires 70% more fuel...as ethanol doesn't like to go bang when cold.

some lol comments in that report
