It maybe OK in an instance, but I doubt what anyone would recommend it if you wanted to err on the side of caution.People should note that the Caltex Eflex fuel is often 70% ethanol, but can vary up to 85% or more.Having a specific 70% tune would not be optimal if the fuel out of the bowser was say 80% ethanol, and you could get that at any time. Caltex is more likely to use 70% ethanol in winter for better cold starting, and increase the ethanol content in summer.I also bought a Zeitronix digital fuel analyzer from the U.S, as it’s always worth knowing the ethanol content of the fuel.You should ALWAYS know the ethanol content of the fuel as used in a tune.The picture below shows the gauge showing the Ethanol content, here 87% out of the bowser at United at Rozelle in Sydney.The picture below shows the surge tank, Magnaflow pump, and Zeitronix unit, and a very good installation by Tunehouse.Brian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get frustrated when others dont... that's all im saying,,,,saying that .....everyones intitled to their own oppinion so good luck to them... when they spend `10k to get 300rwkw good luck lmao Edited 08/05/12 11:37 AM by Fluffy Mc D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys here are happy to spend the extra for the safety factorbut each to there own. I really enjoy threads like this as they are entertaining and helpfull.Matty, we both knew there had to be a reason for the loss in power, you going back to Dale's?
