I normally flush the entire fuel system with the new fuel (about 10-15 litres), turn the car on and run the new fuel into the car while idling and the return line from the rail goes into a jerry can to be disposed of. Then swap to the new tune, fill the car with the new fuel and go from there, going to swap to E85 before I go away this weekend and take some tanks of E85 with me

Jesus Christ you serious!

It's not like your changing from hydrogen to nuclear power!

Today I am going to try the throw a full tank of E85 in while I have a very little DTE reading and then fire it up and see how it goes. I have a half half map that Mick dialled up for me but it has a 3000RPM hard limiter (throttle shut) so must remember that one !

Sweet thanks guys! Not tuned yet but just considering it as an option but its only accessible 7 months a year, the rest I have to run 98. If you get to a point (like I often do) where I drive from canberra to Griffith for the weekend, and only use half a tank one way and a bit around town there and have to fuel up to get back to canberra there's nothing I can really do hey? I would just have to run the 98 before I leave Canberra?

Take a few 20 litre jerrys with you, I took 90 litres from Melbourne and filled up on the side of the road when I got down to 10km DTE and drove home on what was left no worries. Just a thought
