I could still use a nos wet system on E85 right? The nos is only used as computer assisted anti-lag for these twin turbos.

I hope thats a joke

HELLL YEA 😁

Thank god you did cause hector is running 3 honda civics with spoon engines and a motech exhaust.

@@bobbyholmes4586 overnighted from Japan

That’s pretty cool. How reliable are they?

@@Ohwell423 they're really good, all new cars made here are flexfuel now. At the beggining they had a lot of issues, ethanol engines needed higher compression, an extra gasoline tank for cold start and some parts had to be treated against corrosion, like carburators and fuel pumps

Actually Brazil has been using ethanol since the late 20s early 30s and that's just awesome!!! Just did a Google search to verify memory. Damn it took us this long ? Methanol sure but not Ethanol

💔

I feel your pain. Especially in Saskatchewan.

@@545i44 FUGGET ABOUT IT LOL

You got meth. Just as nice. 😊

There is one station i know in Calgary that sells e85, its called B&G fuels, look it up:)

That's fair 😂

Yes, Kum n Go is real.

Yep.. Here in Iowa

Yes, it's also a running joke in every town that has them.

Yes please

Subaru owners are somewhere crying 😢

@@epeezy factss 🤣

I’ve been asking

@@Longshlongjon22 I do it everyday or at least try to

yessir

Agreed. Worth it though.

@@Jonjims1532 beamers eat that shit up if your cars fuel system is built correctly

e85 has a stoichiometric ratio of about 9.8:1 and requires about 30-40% more fuel so yes fuel mileage will be worse than gasoline.

@@7sins979 thanks for the info my man! You can definitely tell the difference between both fuels

Geeeez you make it sound like a bad thing!😂

Keep in mind, petroleum is more heavily subsidized than alcohol fuels and electric power combined. Pull the subsidies on both and you’ll likely find both biofuels and EV vehicles cheaper to operate than gas or diesel vehicles.

@@GreenJeep1998 you also have to consider power density in that. The power density of ethanol is drastically lower, so it takes a far greater amount to produce the same amount of power - which is why people see a noticable decrease in fuel economy when running E85. Couple that with the actual price (minus the subsidies) and you're not really seeing any savings. Also, as stated in the video, ethanol rich fuels are more corrosive and the fuel system is going to require more specialized materials and maintenance. When you start adding up all the extra costs associated with E85 and other ethanol rich fuels, your actual savings gets tossed out the window.

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 I’ll be honest, been running my daily on E85 for over 8 years now and haven’t had an issue, the Jeep I had prior to that saw 10% and even more in the 17 years I had it and the only fuel system rot it had was due to salt and snow being blasted by the left front tires ( had a few sets on it) to one of only 2 steel components in the fuel system. The insides were fine as were the the plastic shrink tube that held them to the stainless hard lines.

@@GreenJeep1998 that's pretty damn good, but I'd expect more fuel system damage on a weekender than a daily. Again, absorbing water and separating will take it's toll. Personally, I'm not a fan. I'd run a water/meth setup before switching over to E85 if I was looking for power and anti-knock.

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 that XJ had been parked for some time when I replaced that line, it spent much of the last 5 years parked due to illnesses Mom had and we were caring for her instead of the XJ, sadly, after she passed we went to try and fix a rotted out brake line to rind the floor rotted out as well as inner and out rockers and signs of infestation of both the furry and moldy kinds inside it. If it hadn’t developed fuel system rot in that time, it’s likely not that big if an issue. Dad even had lawn equipment he forgot to winterize, which included e10 87 with 2stroke oil still in the table and it still started right up on the stuff.

2022 reporting- E85 is cheaper than 98 Octane here in Central Qld

Even then, there are E85 carbs out there now, just need to make sure the pump(s) and lines are up to it.

@@GreenJeep1998 and they cost twice as much as a normal carb. Whats ya point

i second this

I third this

Saw a Kia stinger at Costco with the license plate “ya Kia”

there’s a reason they haven’t done this ...

Got one bro love it check out my insta yellowjacket_stinger

I feel ya mate, mine is on the 8th of December.

@@redouanbouziane4022 ya man.

My car makes 30-50 more hp on E85 than on 93. Definitely worth it.

@@coryce258 yea I made 494 on e. Never could have got there on gasoline. But even cruising around it uses more fuel.

Does your car use E85? If not then that’s not good

if your vehicle isn't specifically designed to use e-85 then you're going to witness the singlehanded reason that platinum prices have been driven up as high as they are as it turns the inside of certain parts to glass due to overheating (i don't remember which part it is but I remember when fixing my cousin's husband's car which experienced the problem for the specific reason that he used e-85 we knocked out a glassed sort of filter that was long tubular in shape with a grid of square holes in it which that method is illegal to do in some states making this repair even more costly for some places due to the added difficulty of the repair). e-85 stands for 85% alcohol which while yes burns at a higher rate also burns at a way higher temperature. It's not made for the majority of most everyday cars. look at what your vehicle is specifically rated to use and use that. The lower cost of ethanol over time doesn't make up for the costs of replacing parts in your engine.

@@zero8034_ @Nuclear Pineapple you guys are too nice. I was just kidding.

@@zero8034_ would this happen immediately or over time. If you added half a tank of e85 by accident and didn’t do it again are you ok? I did this yesterday and all kinds of conflicting information out there.

@@SweetbearCoyote over time always make sure to check your vehicle's manual to make sure your using the right fuel grade

Horrible timing for me, I just tuned for full E and now I’m hoping this video doesn’t make me regret 🤣

If you put a permanent lubricant through the engine you can avoid the damage e.g. XcelPlus 🙂

Gotta b specific “so you want a viggen”

@@brandonanderson2998 oooh that'd be nice! Viggens are one of the best Saabs, but other cool ones are the SAAB 9000 AERO/225 and the 900 SPG

I totally agree! Definitely gotta do and areo I fucking love those! Not that fake ass Subaru think tho haha

No one ever wants a Saab

💙

@@FitmentIndustries pop

Only if you leave it in your truck undriven for months at a time

You should be fine, been running my 2012 Chrysler 200 since almost new and have 109k on it right now. Only increase in wear has been with the brakes and tires😉😁

@K Sk One thing I don’t get though, Ethanol is a solvent as well as a disinfectant, fuel and adult beverage and has been known to remove gum from gas that has been sitting in tanks and fuel line for some time, how does it gum up injectors?!

I’m saving over $2/per gallon. Salute 🫡 E85 🌽 and I’ve managed to eliminate most of the mileage loss through select MODS. Stay Tuned Family

insta,

No is not. Just remember it needs to be a 50/50 blend. If you go over, you are going to have to buy pure sugar and pour 3 scoops in it. This will make the car run smooth again. 😉

Why would you do that for an eco box that takes the lowest octane gas

Been running it since 2012, used to have to driven10 miles one way to find it, now I have a station .65mi south of here and another about 2.5mi southeast from here........think I spent enough time at stations outside my county filling my daily while using their customer cards, I wouldn’t be shocked if my use of their products helped with those decisions to build where they did and have E85 in stock😎

Yes you can it wont harm anything if its a pump gas tune if you have an e85 tune never run a mixture since the timing is so much more advanced on a e85 tune you'll get detonation and cylinder misfires

i’m from mn but never heard the “ minnesota accent “

I am from Wisconsin and I had never known what a Wisconsin accent... until my friend from out of state pointed it out. And that is the exact way he described it. So don’t ask me

No

Yes if its optioned with it its fine. I’ve been running E85 in my 2011 C300 and its a trooper!

If you don’t have the proper mods to support it, no

I'm from France and I'm also asking why ? Ethanol is pretty common here, it's getting more and more popular.

Ireland doesnt have ethanol pumps just gasoline and diesel

@@arzo9986 Czech republic and around is the same.

Look on the bright side - at least most of you guys are not as socially restricted as we are in the US right now.

Welcome to the US @bent where we don’t get shit. EVER

No drain the tank and fill it with 91.

@@jackao321 thanks 👍

Jackson is correct, the alcohol in the e85 absorbs moisture.

They pretty much explained it in the video

@@Alex-vz2jz ooo oke

51% to 83% corn liquor and 15% to 49% gasoline at the pumps, most likely with sub grade gas unless you buy by the drum like with VP, Sonoco, Rockett, and other race gas manufacturers .

Don’t use E85 if the car was not designed for it. Needs to have larger fuel lines, injectors, tuned for it. Great to have flex fuel car( pollutes less than a Prius too!)

LETSS GOOOOOOOO!!!!! lol for real tho thank you for the support!🤘

I’m lucky here near Chicago, the station I filled at today is less than 3/4 mile from home and the other is less than 3 miles from home😁

@K Sk The stations I go to all are busy and along busy roadways. Only one I stay away from has all their fuels excessively priced and I had heard stories from former employees that the people who owned it at the time (pre-E85, at the time) that weren’t getting paid.

@K Sk I am, I know I’m not their only E85 customer, seen modified cars, flex fuel minivans used as a taxi, then regular civilian vans, trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars like ours.
