[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16368709, member: 110091"] So, I began exploring the idea of converting my boosted 4.6 to E85. As a newbie, I wanted to educate myself. In my area, only Sheetz sells the higher ethanol content stuff. Problem is, the pumps only say it can be 51-83% ethanol content. Apparently, that is consistent with labeling requirements effective July 2016, which allows the retailer to use +/- 10% labels (e.g. E50 can be 45-55%), OR to use the broad 51-83% label. See here: [URL="https://ethanolrfa.org/2016/02/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-federal-trade-commissions-final-rule-regarding-labeling-of-ethanol-blends-beyond-10/"]What You Need to Know about the Federal Trade Commission’s Final Rule Regarding Labeling of Ethanol Blends Beyond 10% | Renewable Fuels Association[/URL] Seems like most will CYA and use the 51-83 label. I know there are testing kits. Problem is, if you're tuned for E85, and the only station around me tests in at 55% on any given day, how would I deal? Seems like I'd have to have a tune ready for 55, 65, 75, and 85%. Or, pay the crazy price for E85r, which is supposed to guarantee the ethanol content. Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
