Message	I fill 3/4 with "e85" and start the car and look at what the ethanol content analyzer is saying. My goal is E60-65 (tuned at ~e63). From my 1st couple fill ups it seems one gallon of 93octane brings the ethanol content down roughly 10 points. So I start the car with 3/4 tank (or a bit more) of e85 and my gauge reads e79%. Put in 1.5 gallons and I'm about at e63, done. Good to go. m a g l i t o E85 conversion COMPLETE -- 700RWHP, 683TQ on corn not fed to starving children my Z is not for sale The build up begins - progress - reassembly part one - part two - aliaZspec stage2 heads - 2013 SpecialtyZ dynotune results Links with working pictures of my Z -> Gateway International Raceway HPDE 2007 - Putnam Park HPDE 2007 (data acquisition analysis) - Chicago Z meet 2007
