Today i went and filled my tank with 6 gallons of regular gasoline (87 octane). The rest of my tank has e85, so it's 50% regular gas and 50% e85. Omega Fuels recommended me to dillute the e85 with regular gasoline and that's exactly what I did.

It still doesn't start.

I messaged Moto-East because it's their flex fuel kit and tune, and I'm waiting for a response. At this point I have no idea what to do. My car still doesn't start.

I opened the engine bay and saw the Zeitronix box flashing yellow. Does anyone know if this is normal , or is something wrong with the moto east flex fuel it, or possibly the tune? I have no clue what the problem is now. This is really weird.

Also the ethanol content anylyzer only went down from e88 to 83. So i'm not sure how accurate that is since half of my engine is regular gas. That seems to be way off. Shouldnt it be way below 80 by now? Strange.
