At least he was brave enough to admit the blunder after the fact, but my advice to him is to realize that it's easy (and free) to ask these questions before one ends up shooting himself in the foot. Like the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention . . .

Wow! This thread is just as great as the Honda owner who had a turbo kit put on with NO piping, just a manifold, turbo & oil lines.
Seriously... WTF!

yeah and blinker fluidTo the OP:
E85 + tuned for 93 octane + WOT = boom!
If i were you i would fill the rest of the tank with reg gas and definitely not only stay out of boost but keep that gas pedal up to stay in closed loop, so that ecu can add fuel. You'll throw a cel but will be fine.
Sht, i put in diesel in my tank once! So now i try to not drink and fill up

WOW, you have 1,230 posts and haven't managed to read enough to know that E85 requires substantially more fuel and other mods to the system?
Or even to know that doing dumb **** to your car is bad?
What's next? You gonna pour sugar in your gas tank to see if it really does screw up your car?
I'd suggest you run it down until the fuel light comes on, then fill it up with at least 93 octane, preferably something a little higher if you can. Then run it down again pretty low before your next re-fill.
