[QUOTE="RFH, post: 10991361, member: 35112"] you can blow up an E85 engine, Ive done it. But the caveat is that it wasn't a spark knock problem, but a pre-ignition problem. While ethanol has a high resistance to autoignition, it has a fairly low resistance to hot surface ignition. That means if you have hot surfaces in your engine, like hot spark plugs or carbon deposits, it will ignite on those before the spark. This will destroy your engine, fast. So, it is possible for a poor chamber design like the 2 valve, that you could see differences in fuels from this phenomenon, especially on such a low speed engine. Also pump E85 has a PON of about 98. We just sent a batch out and this is what we got on our CoA. [/QUOTE]
