Running Ethanol
Running Ethanol
How does this work? ive heard of people running 50% ethanol...we just got an ethanol pump in out town and im interested in trying this stuff out! what do i need, a tune made specifacally for ethanol? or can i just run it with the mods in my sig? Thanks!!
You can run E10 without a tune, I don't know if you guys have the stuff in the States but here in Canada we have a few pumps that Sell 94 Octace E10 for the same price as 91 Octane at other gas stations.
Every gas station in the US midwest now sells E10. In fact, here in Kansas they don't sell straight gasoline anymore. But, we're talking about higher ethanol blends like E30 or E47 (50-50).
E10 is just standard gas. Most production cars are programmed to handle a small amount of Ethanol mixed fuel. I think the standard limit is 15% Ethanol, but I could be wrong.

The gas station I purchase my CAM2 from also sells non-ethanol blended fuels. Nice feature for some of the older cars out there.
I also have Full E85 tunes working on mostly stock cars now. I almost have it for full bolted cars as well, Im VERY close. I only have 500rpm of issue currently and I think today I will have it cured
Yeah, they exist, but they're SO rare. A lot of my friends have old modded V-dubs and Audis that they race, and older VAG cars especially do not like blended gasoline. There are websites out there dedicated to finding stations that sell ethanol-free fuel.
