probably much more lenient with a bad tank on a stock everything.....but boosting & more than twicing the mfg. HP/TQ could cause a big problem with junk in the tank

Yes I had two separate incidents, one was with the fuel pump and the other was with the injector going bad. Yes, I limit the use of pump e85 because of those issues. Seb and Tony figured out how to avoid the fuel pump issue as the issue was with the fuel pump and the manufacture would not own it but they came out with a e85 fuel pump several month and many complaints later.

So you just run pump gas most of the time?
No real way to tell if the pump e85 is bad until it’s to late?

I still run pump e85...I just do it sparingly. I run e90 better known as Ignite 114. I think out west, mostly AZ and NV the e-whatever can be not as clean as you fine in other states. I will probably get pump e85 straight from distributor that way it is clean and e75 or better.

There are a couple of e85 stations fairly close to me. The one I go to is a Propel station, it's listed on the pump that the minimum ethanol contect that they pump is e72. There's a closer off brand station closer to me but if you look at their pump, the minimum they can pump is e55. Needless to say, I'll only go to the Propel station even though by the time I get home it's already dropped one dot on the gauge.

You really have to read the pump to make sure you're getting the highest ethanol content.

LOL, yeah guys in Cali have good e85 and Propel is the best of the pump e85. In AZ they just call it flex fuel which mean it is a minimum of e56.

After running a few tanks of Propel after draining the 91 octane, I've actually seen e84 on my ethanol gauge.

You guys are lucky. I have one station in Savannah. I do have several Gate stations in Jacksonville, one not far from our office. That's Dew pickup point before heading home when I go.
