The pumps were closed tonight on the back of the alleged problem. However, Hi-Torque heard the rumor also and tested fuel today before they were shut down and it tested 95% Ethanol.So it sucks on a couple of fronts really. Nothing wrong with what's in storage now but you can't access it. If it did come out at 40% in the guys car, well maybe it got contaminated off site as it's 95% today and I don't think they'd be selling truck loads of the stuff yet. So, he won't know what happened either. Maybe it's just brisso's spinning chit 'cause they've only got the eflex shandy mix . Whatever the reason, it's robbed people of getting fuel now until United's own tests come back and confirm what was fact this morning - 95% Ethanol. I'm not on the stuff yet myself so it doesn't concern me at this stage. For the people that are though, I hope they fire the pumps back up as soon as. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you get a real good brew, you just make more power 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this problem with eflex. When it was tuned the eflex was 73%. Bout a week later filled up and car was leaning out. Tested the eflex and it was 78%. United seem to have a higher ethanol content but are just as inconsistent as caltex. Sucrogen FTW.Edit. All tuners should put a decent margin in it no matter what % it is considering the inconsistencies found with pump e-70-95% Edited 22/12/12 11:17 AM by BigAl's04 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely it isn't hard for a company to calculate how much ethanol to mix with how much petrol to guarantee E85???Surely the ethanol/petrol combo doesn't undergo any form of separation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
