I filled up a 20ltr jerry can on queens birthday because was going for a long drive, didn't end up needing it. Tested it last night and it was still E89. Dunno what it was when I first bought it though. That was stored in a sealed plastic jerry can.

Showing E89 is this still within tolerance , does the tuner take this into consideration or are we splitting hairs ?

[JETURBO]

any decent tuner will test and always take into concideration no splitting hairs with other ppls rides and money

[deset]

That's not my question

Doesn't matter what you ask him Deset. He will answer it without answering it. And then write 132mph.

And then burn his own time slips.

gives the answer though ,iam sure u can work out a tuner wont tune to the absolute limit of a fuels octaine rating especially a fuel that at the pump is subjected to regular change. yes even though the ethanol rating does get higher than 85 and marginal gains could be had if serching for the dyno queen number, but in reality it would be backed off on the final tune to remove the chance of pinging if a lower % comes out the pump ( especially on this fuel)

[IH8TOADS]

For you alcoholics (jetnos this is you buddy!!) you should get a digital ethanol content reader installed, get your car tuned for the lowest e content you are likely to experience and go buy yourself HP tuners. The ford fuelling works off Lambda so you literally have a single scalar to change to correct your fuelling. The Holden's have a table that reads e and then corrects but us ford guys have to hack into the PCM and manually change the scalar. If you can do simple maths, read and push buttons then you can do what I have just described. Easy as pie and takes 7 minutes. 'somewhat' winning lol.

I will never go back to 98
