How is it a pain in the ass...:r: For us, because we can tune for it, the E85 pump should be relabeled, Hi-Octane Racing Fuel. Good for 30-35HP...:twothumbs I drive up to one pump, swipe the CC, put in 6 gallons, then go to the other pump, swipe the CC, put in 6 gallons, & I'm done... Maybe less than 5 minutes more to tank...:) Guys have been putting in racing gas, since cars have been made...:twothumbs |
worst thing about being E47 tuned is pulling up the gas pump(91) then pushing my car forward to the E pump lol people look at me like im crazy and sometimes people even come to help me push :lol:

So you put in 55.2% e85 and 44.8% 93? Cause the way i see it if you guys are doing half and half you should call it e42.5

You can just start it and drive it to the next pump. You don't have to push it. :lol:

But there are stations in the US where gasoline is not oxygenated with ethanol, and has 0% E. |

The guy above your last post can get you where you want to go. E-47 is great, isn't really a hassle, and can add about 25 hp due to being able to run more timing. Lots better mileage than e85.
Here in Arizona there aren't a ton of stations with E85, so while it is still perfectly feasible to run Ethanol fuels, you just limit out 90% of the gas stations. To me, that's the only real downside since the fuel mileage on E47 isn't actually that bad (maybe 10% worse than straight gasoline) but the power and reliability of it is outstanding. It's not like you ONLY make more power, you tend to make that power under even safer conditions than a less powerful 91 octane tune. |

That's how I roll! At least at the stations I go to the pumps are next to each other. There are stations on the other side of the town where you can pump 91 AND e85 out of the same pump from a different nozzle.

Is it still considered E47 if the gas mixture is 91 octane? I'm looking at doing this to my cobalt this summer. I wanted to run E85 but didnt care for buying the zzp fuel lobe with opels. I have done some research. Is anyone actually monitoring the ethanol percentage during/or after fueling up? I've hear that some E85 stations may have less or more then 85%. Wouldn't this directly affect a E85/E47 tune?

Yes I always check the e content when fueling. You can use 91 verses 93, it just lowers the octane slightly.

I purchased a little test tube setup made by quick fuel. Pretty standard setup that a lot of guys use. Think I got it on amazon.
The e stations in my town replaced their 93 pumps with e pumps so I actually have to mix them in gas cans. |
