I heard prolonged use clogs everything up? I.e engines have to be striped and cleaned. Any truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard prolonged use clogs everything up? I.e engines have to be striped and cleaned. Any truth to that?Almost everything has downsides, E85 is no different and has been discussed in various different threads, although many argue with what is posted because they may not have seen the downsides first hand. I have not heard on any engine issues bar 1 thread, that has blamed E85 for damage. There are benefits when using it, the user just needs to weigh up whether or not it is for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean drain all fuel from tank then refill with e85?Not sure how other tuners do it, but at nizpro we run the car up on the dyno to get a baseline on 98 (or tune on 98 if your a new customer) and then we drain all the 98 out of it, fill up with e85 and then begin tuning with e85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
