XR64LT Donating Members 678 Member For: 16y 11m 10d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 25/04/12 07:52 AM Share Posted 25/04/12 07:52 AM I wonder if in sydney more united servo's will start selling E85, pretty dissapointing that theres only one united servo is selling the stuff. theres a caltex near by but if im to get a E85 tune im not driving 45mins to get it. A mates father-in-law has multiple drag/race cars so he takes his trailer full of drums and fills them all up from united and he loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we have our answer. If nothing's different except tune and injectors etc. I'd say it's safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to see if United E85 and Eflex also have something similar added to their fuel..http://www.hpheaven.com.au/store/parts-accessories/info/1227/sucrogen-e85-premium-racing-fuel-200lt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also tells you everything that is in the fuel and the tolerances.http://www.environment.gov.au/atmosphere/fuelquality/publications/pubs/ethanol-e85-position-paper.doc Edited 25/04/12 09:35 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again,are the Focus materials better than our Aussie stuff.What type/brand are the 1000cc injectors you guys use Possum? I spoke to Dave about getting mine done last week and he said I will most likely need to upgrade from my Nizpro injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
