I'm finding it surprisingly hard to find United E85 locations in Sydney . I followed one link back to United and traced three servos ie Blaxland Rozelle and Drumoyne (Sp ?) . I did see mention of a fourth but don't know where that one is .

These three are pointless if you live on the southern outskirts of Sydney because they are too far away or awkward to et to .

Can someone tell me where the fourth United E85 source is and if theres any down Wollongong way , even thats a bit far really .

I was hoping to get a higher blend than EFlex E70 reasonably close because the higher content means less to make my blends up with .

Any help appreciated , cheers Adrian .

Bloody Dee Why , what've United got against us southerners ?

Well if you're going to make your own brews the higher the ethanol content the better because its less to add and less base stock to try to ignore .

Looks like winter grade EFlex will have to do , cheers A .

Buy it by the drums if you're mixing at home?

Are there any more United E85 service stations that have opened this year in Sydney ? Minto is still the closest and for whatever reason my 33 likes it better than EFlex . The other night I dumped a 1/4 tank of Minto85 on top of 3/4s of EFlex and my car seems to run smoother and is getting a few more MPG .

We've got EFlex nearby but no local United 85 .

Cheers A .

Well , people still talk about wheels in inches and boost in pounds but no I think in terms of litres per hundred km and I'd love to get 10/100 . MPG is just quicker to type .

When this tank full gets low I'll try 50 50 United 85 and Caltex E70 . Thinking about it I was running United 85 before the ViPec and tune so maybe my engine likes it better because it was getting better consumption round town then with the PFC and Z32 MAF . You'd think E70 having more "petrol" in it would get better mileage than E85 though the Americans suspect that what the oil co's put into some ethanol blends isn't real flash in the "petrol" component .

Cheers A .

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
