[QUOTE="mkb116, post: 15022145, member: 32500"] So I use this exact same setup. Four vp jugs with e85 sitting on the shelves in my garage. I am tuned but not dyno tuned. Not a single issue up until this week which I will explain. But the longest any of the e85 sat was about 2 weeks. The e85 from my station was testing at e90. As of this week, my clutch install was done and I had a half tank of e85 which had been in the tank a couple of months, ran fine starting the clutch break in. I got to 1/4 tank and began using e85 that had sat for about 4 to 5 weeks and a few miles after putting it in, the car stumbles really bad out of no where and dies. Let it sit a few minutes, try again, still trouble. Let it sit 10 minutes, try again. Perfectly fine. That's weird, kill about 8 gallons no problem. Test the gas that I added (from the jug I poured in, tested e87). Get to 1/4 tank again, add the rest of the jug, only about 2-3 gallons, it was all I had left. Get out about 20 miles, all of a sudden it starts acting up again, lurching and stumbling badly. Pull over, give it 5 minutes, start it up, problems gone. I'm confused as hell, the clutch seems perfect, hadn't had a problem before I added this 5 week old e85, which is still testing fine. I'm down to a 1/4 tank again and going tomorrow to fill up all four jugs. I'm anxious to see if I add 5 gallons of fresh e85, if I will see this problem again or not, and be able to narrow it down to bad gas or not. Any ideas here? [/QUOTE]
