So I've read through the e85 threads and have a good idea of what I'll need to convert but I have a quick question.

Would it be a good idea to convert if the car sits a lot during the summer months?

Most of the time I'll be able to drive it every few days but work gets busy in the summer and I can be gone for weeks or more than a month at a time. 40 days will probably be the max. The car would always be stored in the garage where it doesn't get too hot.

I can have my gf start the car whenever but I don't really want her driving it

Could this cause some issues with fuel and/or system?

Thanks!

 

Ethanol, is awful to start on in the cold. its way better in the summer. if my outside temp is lower then 50, it sucks. in brazil where 90% of cars are on ethanol, they have a starting tank of petrol so once the car warms up, they can switch to the E fuel tank.


it wont freeze or gel up or anything, but the last thing you want is CEL for false starts, or some other dumb reason that's not hurting the car, but bugs you since it lights up.

 

Thanks for bring this up, because this is something new for me to knw before going e85 my self.

 

you can always flex fuel it and just run pump in the winter. being in Buffalo, that's what I will probably do when I convert to the corn.

 

Luckily I won't be away from the car for longer than a week or so max during the winter and it doesn't get too cold most of the time. Especially with it being in the garage.

My tuner suggested getting ID1300 injectors because they have all stainless steel internals.

I'm still new to all of this and I made this thread so I'm not bombarding him with questions.
