silly newbie e85 question

Searched and could not find the answer...

If I am about to transition to e85... do I basically just burn as much of my regular gas as possible before filling up with e85? How sensitive is the system to a slight mixture?

Obviously, you can't burn all of the regular gas in the car without running out of gas before filling up.

A good tune can compensate for a pretty broad mixture. Follow the steps that steve99 posted and you should be good to go!
