Already done months ago. :P

Can cover a few deductibles if need be.

Somehow I just knew you would be prepared!

Before I got my head screwed on straight, I recall a time when my bank account was in the single digits and I had an emergency pop up.

Never, ever going through that ordeal again.

I'll burn some corn juice at lunch in solidarity!! I don't remember where it is on the forums but I know someone made a nice "idiot proof" guide to switching from gas to e85 if you can find it. Probably in one of Steve99's sig links.

Just in case: Remember to drive for 2-3km at low throttle after filling up to let the e85 into the system and then flash the tune. after flashing let it idle for 45 seconds to a minute and then still drive carefully for the next 10-20 km while logging. The OTS tune should be a bit rich in most cases for safety, I'm about -4 LTFT on idle or low throttle but within 1% under medium or WoT.

^ you mean this thread?


Yeah I've been monitoring my LFTF, STFT, AFR, Advance multiplier and Oil Temps while I was driving around with the Stage 1 tune. I will be carefully monitoring all of these when I switch to E85. Probably take it easy until I have the chance for WOT

Yep, I literally printed out that precautions section and keep it in my glove box. Probably not the smartest place considering the dealership looks in there every service
