I guess you could also run a gallon or two of E85 every once in a while.

 

Double post.

 

you can do it like the old schoolers with 2 gallon of water through a vacuum hose to get the job done too. although i wouldnt recommend doing it on a turbocharged car :P

adding **** in your fuel isnt doing anything unless you're doing it every fillup and it dilutes the fuel nicely. its all a waste of money just like those octane boosters that boost your octane by .000001 realistically.

 

E10? Never heard of this..

 

Btw I bought this 10$ bottle called SeaFoam... Ima throw it in wen I go low on gas and fill up...

 

Wait run e85? I'm not tuned for that!

 

Since CA banned MTBE, to oxygenate gas companies use 10% ethanol. Some companies never used MTBE, like 76, and always has used E10 formula... and it was a wonder why they tuned less knock than other gasolines back in the day... makes total sense today.

He said a couple gallons...

2 gallons of e85 and 11-12 gallons of 91.

 

couple gallons of e85!!! then just run 93-94 the rest of the time

 

Run 1/3 through your brake booster or intercooler and smoke the whole neighborhood out Careful though, when I did mine I guess I didn't let it run long enough to clear everything out. Come next morning I blew out another huge cloud of white smoke and got a CEL for running rich. Cleared it and no problems in the 5k miles since, just something to be aware of.

 

some reason i dont trust seafoam on turbo cars.

 

+1. Not something I'd be comfortable doing on my car.

 

A gallon or two shouldn't be a problem.

The idea behind running the E85 is using the alcohol to clean out the system.

 

would it be bad to consistantly run 1-2 gallons of e85?
