Just spitballing here, and hopefully getting a conversation going about some options. Maybe something like this already exists? So after getting my E85 tune on my Big Turbo (big thanks to @[email protected]), I've been loving it, but wondering if there is a way out there to add in an auxiliary fuel cell for JUST E85, so mixing wouldn't be a pita.
Here's my idea for you all to shoot holes in:
This accomplishes 3 things:
What pitfalls does a system like this contain? I know that Zeitronix makes a great E85 content meter which would eliminate the need to calculate the mixture, but then again, this doesn't offer the benefit of extending range that a whole different tank would offer.
Here's my idea for you all to shoot holes in:
-Have the stock tank of 93 octane, have an auxiliary tank of E85, filling each independently
-Plumb/meter it in a way that the correct proportion of E85 mixes with the 93 fuel further down the fuel lines (think like jetting for nitrous oxide, different jets or restrictors for E30/E40/E50)
-Plumb/meter it in a way that the correct proportion of E85 mixes with the 93 fuel further down the fuel lines (think like jetting for nitrous oxide, different jets or restrictors for E30/E40/E50)
This accomplishes 3 things:
-Takes away the need to calculate and mix
-Keeps the mix exactly consistent every time
-Increases your fuel range by a factor of whatever size fuel cell you decide to use for E85.
