hey guys, just starting to research converting to e85 and have what is probably a dumb question. I only have 2 stations that have e85 near me. The one nearest to me isn’t labeled as e85 at the pump but “flex fuel”. Is this only due to the fact that actual ethanol content will vary based on time of year for cold start purposes? Is it still safe to run in my supercharged ‘12 if I have the necessary fuel system and tune since I don’t drive it in winter?
Want to be sure the lower e content (as low as approx 65-70% based on location during colder fall or spring months per EIA or EPA document I read) isn’t going to negatively impact performance or reliability. I understand lower e content will cause rich condition with e85 tune so no concerns of leaning out, just want to better understand how to enter this fully informed.
VMP tuned and plan to stay that way if it matters.
Thanks in advance for advice!
