How to run E85 / Convert your car to E85

In this video I explain all the knowledge I have on E85 conversions. Including:

1. E85 vs Gasoline: How E85 is different from gasoline
2. How to upgrade your fuel system to run E85
3. How to tune your car for E85

This is the best video I’ve seen while doing research on how to convert a vehicle to e85

[Magnet]

Great video straightforward simple to understand I love videos like this because it really is easy to watch no-nonsense just exactly what you need in a video I really think this good stuff

[screwdajuice]

Awesome video man, very informative. Keep up the great work!

I will be doing e20 mix to keep my fuel system happy

[ampman]

Nice presentation! Quick question: do vehicles that burn “flex fuel” have “hardened” valves? I’ve heard the valves are different in flex fuel engines and running such fuel will burn out non-flex fuel valves. Has anyone heard this?

I put a flex fuel kit on my stock 2002 Mustang GT. It ran fine for several days on 44% ethanol content but the day that I refilled the tank I got 61% ethanol content (a mix between 44% and 85% which would make it around 61%) and the car died. This is less than a week after I put in the kit. Turns out that it killed my fuel pump (or was it coincidence?) and I have to replace it. The manufacturer and another youtuber said that neither the fuel pump nor the fuel injectors need to be upgraded from stock. Anyway, I ordered a fuel pump certified for E85 only to find out that the fuel pump housing for the bad pump was of poor design where you have to remove a small hose to get access to the fuel pump. Which caused another problem because I ended up destroying the small hose and can't find a replacement that is SAE 30R10 anywhere. The corrugated hose fits onto an 1/8 inch OD port on each end of the assembly. So, I have to order a complete assembly with a fuel pump pre-installed because you can't get just the housing from any manufacturer. You might not be able to specify an E85 compatible fuel pump either. I'm not a happy junior mechanic right now.

I made my 2022 Prius into a flex fuel vehicle, but there was/is no real benefits. Just something I wanted to do for years.
I do put E85 into my 3.6l v6 engine my flex fuel minivan has for maximum power. (My priuss are 120 hp combined, ford is 170 hp, but my minivan is 260)

I run my 11F-150 on it. Bad mileage but so fun! Warning, it does cause you to have a led foot.

I'm not a car person at all, but I'm intrested in ethanol as (in some states/countries) you can make your own. Because I have little knowlage of more advanced modern engines, i still have a lot of research, but good video

[matthewmoore]

Well done. Only question(s) not answered: conversion cost and do the fuel system materials type have to be changed?

[williambixby]

No much info out there on stuff like this… do you think you may do a video on vehicles that run carbs or have a resource I can look at?

[magnusjahn]

how far you are in progress? looking forward to it!

Hey Thanks For The Video, What Should My A/F Ration Be On Idle On E85? I think 8.9 Is Too Rich On My Kswapped Civic

[Shreddylife]

Noob question, I am thinking about converting my Boosted D16z6 Honda to E85. Would I have to get the engine retuned?

[therealpower]

Ok so can I run only e85 with absolutely no mix? I have my car tuned to e85 also

[jrgonzalez]

We just want to see a video where you're putting parts and explainin

[ray]

Does anyone know how would i go in tuning my ECU im new to this thanks in advance

[emanuelvasquez]

I'm driving a f250 that use e85 and in reality it's way slower then using regular gas

[bonillaus]

How much would it be to convert my 2009 Honda

[robertd]

3:10 so that explains the shitty mpg drop
