I have asked this question before, however the boys running Eflex do you have much dramas using different servos?

We only have a handful of servos in Brisbane with it (No United up here), however I have worked out with my job that I could make it work with the areas I visit during the week.. However speaking to a mate up here who runs with it, he does notice a difference when filling up a different servos. To the point where the car does run a little rough... Do you boys have the same problem in the southern states?

Cheers

Ben

^^^ exactly why I'll stick with 98 until we get some servos with 'proper' e85 in SEQ Ben. I'd rather have a decent tune on 98 than one that has to have buffer to cater for eflex.

Hi guys if your car is tuned to run Eflex it will run differently than if it was tuned to run E85, and vice versa, E85 has about 15% more ethanol in it hence my previous posts on how my car runs like cr*p on Eflex, because it has been tuned to run E85 Only, that's not saying I can use Eflex, I can but its not as efficient, I lose boost and the engine runs retarded, so basically as a rule of thumb I dont use it hope this helps

Yeah, his car was tuned on Eflex it runs great when he fills up at the servo where he used the fuel they tuned it with. However when he fills up at a different location it runs pretty rough.. The Elfex tune he does have was pretty conservited as well. Not many of Tuners up in Brisbane are keen to tune cars with Eflex, majority of cars up here just use Sucrogen... Great stuff, but obviously too bloody experience and inconvenient to run in a daily driven car. Still can't believe how the united stuff is produced up here and there is only 2 united servos in Brisbane and none of them sell E85? Go figure......??????
