E85 in Chicgoland Area--Low grade

[dvernst]

so i had 5 gallons left over in my tank that showed E75 on the display and I went to the Thortons in Park Ridge tonight and filled up with their fuel(E85)...about 10 gallons added and now the readout on the sensor shows E78-79....Im not sure this sensor will ever match what your tester is showing??

I don't think it really matters. You can max out your tune to that mix, and adjust accordingly later to whatever the sensor says

The testers are under $20. You should get one...

I think the fuel is around E85 or so and it did raise your level. I can't speak to the chemistry of how they mix but the tester has showed E85+ both times I tested it. Plus 27+ PSI no knock is a good proof too.

I also think the problem with the sensor is that you find out what the fuel quality is AFTER you fill up. Then you may be stuck with a less desirable quality fuel. I like the tester because for $.30, you can do a quick check and see if you want to fill up with that fuel.

It took one quart of e-98 to make 5 gallons of e-79 come around.

where did you get this quart of E98?

 

[tsm3089]

I got a 5 gallon pale of it so i don't have to check every pump in town for e-85

corey oil in north lake wi. has it. I am sure you can find a source in chicago though.

If you have a smartphone there is a free app called Keendriver that lists E85 stations. Its free for android not sure about Apple phones
