The openflash tunes supplied are either ,Petrol OR E85.

you either run a dedicated petrol tune petrol with petrol
or you run a dedicated E85 tune with E85

if you want to switch then you have to run your tank down to the low fuel light fill with other fuel and then flash the appropiate E85 or petrol tune.

see links below for more info

The oft tunes do not support flex fuel system.
A flex fuel syetem requires a ethanol sensor which measures the ethanol content and this is converted into a voltage , this voltage is fed back to an input on the ecu and the ecu interprets this voltage and adjust the tune according to the ethanol content.
However to interpret the ethanol sensor input requires aditional software code to be written for the ecu.
This has not been done for oft tunes.

If you want a flex fuel system you will have to buy ecutek system
and a flex fuel kit.
about $700 for kit plus ecutek licience 300. plus flex fuel tune
