Drain some into a glass and let it sit and see if it seperates for us!

 

I ran it till empty

an my car still runs, dives and AFR's have not changed...

 

nice test

 

Everything is still unharmed

 

Its been over a month. I let the E85 fully evaporate over the last few days. Nothing in the container shows any signs of corrosion.

 

not for a month, no. Not surprising at all Give it a year of continual use, and try and start the car in low degree temps. That will help with your mythbuster-style test. You may find some additional changes but not all, and you'll be able to confirm and "bust" myths associated with the extensive use of this fuel.

 

If NOTHING happened in a month do you really think anything will happen over a longer period of time? When things are corrosive they are pretty instant. Corrosion usually isnt a gradual process.

 

have a nice day

 

I have been using this fuel for 1-1/2 years now. I left my tank 3/4-full when I parked the truck over the winter (Michigan). I would go out and start it every few weeks when it was damn cold outside. It was harder starting for sure, but not impossible. Once spring came around, I used the same fuel left inthe tank to drive the truck to the nearest E85 (E70) station and fill back up. Monitoring things in my BS3, there was nothing I needed to address.

Great fuel, great results, great price.

 

No. no one should jump to that conclusion so quickly after only one month duration. Not to mention it was not with continual and consistent use of the fuel in an non-E85 manufactured application. It's not just the corrosion that one needs to look at when it comes to the drawbacks of this fuel. You must look at the lines themselves if one doesn't use a Gas drier, nor does it account for difficulties in colder temperature cold starts or the effects it has on the tank itself. When one does a test, it must be over a period of time, not just a "snap shot".

 

can u mix e85 with 93 octane gas?

 

This test was just for corrosion.

Before I started the test i was thinking this stuff was gonna eat through some stuff.

Its been a month - whether you consider that enough time or not is up to you. But this stuff has NOT showed one sign of corrosion on ANY of the test items. It hasnt even affected any of the paint/coatings on any of the items.

I truly find it hard to believe that E85 will eat away a fuel system

 

If you have water that is standing in a mud puddle, its not corrosive. If you have that water start rushing through that mud hole its starts eroding the land around it. So basically what im saying is....if its going to be its most destructive, its when its flowing passed the materials and fittings under pressure. I use E85 and i dont believe its going to cause an issue, but im just stating in lame terms what i think some of these guys are arguing a point of.

 

E85 has done nothing to my car in the past 3 years ive been on it....

 

I've only been on e85 for a few months but up until this point the only negative effects ive seen are that i maxxed my fuel system out, and now for some reason my car likes to do roll-on 5th gear burnouts. Gosh darn e85 letting me make race gas power on my stock motor for 2.74 a gallon. Anyone know a good place to get that 92 octane stuff ive heard about? Myles can you help me out with this?

 

Do all walbro fuel pumps work well with E85?

 

While this is bumped up I wanted to add this..

Bigtuna mentioned ethanol was responsible for his aeromotive pump failure. In the above thread the op pretty much had the same problem as he did (magnets came unglued) and that pump was never ran on ethanol, only leaded race gas and only for a total of about 2 hours before the failure occurred.

 

Buddy of mine with a small block ford had some E-85 issues. His heads where ported past the pushrod holes in a few areas. The porter used an epoxy (probably JB) to skim over the holes and also fill in areas to raise the floor a bit. The E85 turned the epoxy to goo, pushrod hole sucked oil, detonation, feels bad.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^

doesnt sound like its the fault of e85 to me, but rather the way the posrt job was done, and the lack of either experimentation as well as research of the affects e85 would have on said epoxy

 

I have also been running an a1000 on e85 for 2 years now with no issues from the pump what so ever

 

Some people have had problems with aeromotive in general and when something goes wrong they look for a "fault" other than just failure. I don't believe E85 is the issue. There are so many people (including me) that have run E85 for years with no issues.

 

I've been running it for awhile with no issues as well.

 

plan on making the switch soon. good to see the results

 

just do yourself a favor upfront with the switch ide deffinately go to id2k's

 

has anyone have a problem with residue(black substance) on injectors?i see a few problems with this.some car more then others,but i seen a car car go lean after a few miles because of it.just hard to pinpoint the problem.my honda civic 1050 injector gets a light residue after a 1000 miles in florida.other then that i love this ****!

imo,e85 makes it alot easier to run all motor vs turbo,higher compression+biggercams+all motor power.with some octane left over for the bottle!
