[Shotimes] Re: Ford fuel injector cleaner

[Dave Kegel]

I ran a tank of this through my 03 Explorer FFV.  Yes it was quite a bit
cheaper than regular unleaded at the time (saved me about $8 for the tank
full), but my gas mileage was HORRIBLE.  It's already bad in that thing but
with the E85 stuff I got a good 2 MPG less.  I didn't do the math, but I'm
not sure I'd be saving any money by using it continuously.

Speakin gof RFG fuels, we have just gotten stations carrying E85 here in
Fort Wayne. (85% Ethanol) and Indiana is slated for a huge ethanol plant
here in the near future. I keep thinking that with the tuning ability of a
tweecer and WBO2 it should be pretty feasible to make an SHO run in E85. I
expect it has a slightly different AFR, probably righer than pure gasoline
becasue of shorter chain molecules and burns slower so may need advanced
ignition timing.... . But that's all speculation.  anybody have details on
E85 and the differences it takes to burn vs. gasoline? If a higher Fuel
Pressure is required, I have plans to accomodate that in the near future. I
am thinking that it would be a fun project that may end up saving some cash
at the pump since I already have all the tuning capacity avaialble.  Z
