I would definitely get one if I was using e85.Freaky, I don't hate it at all. I am just saying there is a greater risk when using it from the pump. Not going to go on about it here cause its not my thread but feel free to come out for a chat tomorrow night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 24/10/12 10:56 PM Author Share Posted 24/10/12 10:56 PM Go ahead mate I'm interested as much as anything. Outwardly E85 has no downside and you are saying there is? What happens to the pump stuff? Is it not consistent? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie2256 Donating Members 7,441 Member For: 16y 3m 7d Gender: Male Location: SE Melbourne Posted 25/10/12 12:01 AM Share Posted 25/10/12 12:01 AM Well before jet or anyone else using united thinks I'm a hater I'm not. I would use it if I had a bottom end to handle it. Doesn't mean it is without its risks. Biggest risk when buying pump fuel is that you don't know exactly what you are putting in your car. You cannot see it, smell it or test it. Our PCM's cannot change fuel maps on the fly like the commodores' one can so if the ethanol content does change or the fuel is contaminated the PCM has no way of correcting itself. Sure timing can be pulled but its still not what you would consider "safe". So without a way to analyse the fuel how do you know what is going into your car?The people that use it are pretty much counting on united or caltex to give them the right fuel. If there is something wrong with the supply or the tanker or the servo then how do you know?Drum e85 is a little different. The fuel goes from the supplier straight to you. There could even be more stringent testing and quality control because it is mainly used for racing. Everyone using e85 whether it is from the pump or drum getting insane results and it still is a great fuel I am just saying that sometimes when a lot of people are doing the same thing it is a bit difficult to stop for a moment and think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
