So this is my 3rd tank of E85 to run my k24 frank. First full tank i got dialed in and it ran good. Then I filled up again and the motor went lean. So i added more fuel thinking, Maybe because i had a little gas in the tank the first time it wasn't true 85% ethonol. So i ran that tank down and i filled up again, and all of my A/Fs are shot. Stupid E85 i suppose you have to tune it on a tank by tank basis. The pump says it could be anywhere from 70-85% ethonol with no way of knowing which it is.
So for now it's back to pump gas. 94oct will have to do.

it takes a lot of fuel system to run e85. if you plan to make 250whp then you need a fuel system capable of like 700whp.

E85 is a dead end. It's just not worth it unless you like filling up all the time and driving all over to find it.
