    Appreciate you weighing in on this. Living in Canada, we only have the choice of 94 oct, 93 oct and 91 oct readily available from the pumps, unfortunately. In Canada Shell gas stations(at least, one near me) USED to carry ethanol free fuel and are a cent or two more per litre, I don't think so anymore.

    i used ethanol free as much as possible on my old car the extra 1-2mpg was worth it because of how low the range on that car was. It would go from 275 miles to 310 per tank, which was enough to go 2 weeks between fill ups going to work

    Big thing with any fuel is getting it from a station with lots of traffic. I get my 93 e10 from one or two stations, and my e85 from a certain local brand.

    • @jieddo1
      @jieddo1 22 дня назад

      There are at least 7 E85 stations in my area and only one of them is worth a damn. There is a line wrapped around the station to get fuel from this good E85 pump every time I go there. The other stations I never see anyone pumping E85 so who know how long that stuff has been in there.

    Hi Kern, ur videos are very helpful. I have a 2017 540i stage 2+ 93 with tu pump as a daily. I want to make around 600hp by just upgrading the turbo and a custom tune with E30/40. Whats the best route? Daw hypercore or vargas gc

  • @greekarican2jzsc3
    @greekarican2jzsc3 5 дней назад

    what if the highest non ethanol fuel in my area is 89 and 90 from what ive found is that still ok to mix with E to get e40 ?

  • @weyo14
    @weyo14 25 дней назад

    When running pump gas I always add 2 oz of boostang just to be safe. And for my e50 map I get my e85 from a local race track never a gas station as it’s never a true e85

  • @weduhpeople8504
    @weduhpeople8504 25 дней назад

    Remember e85 is corrosive but using an e40 blend will help. If you can afford it 100 octane race gas is safer for your engine in the long run. You do have to get a custom tune for it to switch to. It’s not as convenient as e85.

    now that I'm on e85 I just wish my stations E pump was better than E65...

    I am in Europe, visited Germany a month back and filled up with their 102 octane and flashed the mhd 102map. Oh my word that was an insane difference from 95map. No ethenol and pureboost uses the aral fuel for their maps

    Where I live in Indiana has a circle K gas station that has ethanol free gas. Got a 2018 340i Xdrive, should I use the ethanol free? Are there any disadvantages?

    Hi so in our country we only have 87 octane fuel
    If I wanna mix e30.. looking at that we have poor quality fuel how do we go about that? Thanks

    • @sebbonxxsebbon6824
      @sebbonxxsebbon6824 25 дней назад +1

      You need a tune, and maybe replace some fuel lines as ethanol and rubber don't mix. Don't forget the fuel return lines, they might not like ethanol and you don't need a fuel leak.

    • @hocongluan51
      @hocongluan51 25 дней назад +1

      E30 has octane rating at 94.4. So if you only have 87octane fuel you have to mix: 35L of pure 100% ethanol with 30L of 87oct fuel to make 65L of E59 to reach other E30 (94,4octane rating)

  • @legoman911

    What about the degradation of seals/rubber etc throughout the engine? Wont ethanol eventually breakdown these components and cause failure ?

    Anyone have experience with octane boosters for those like me who doesn't have access to ethanol or methanol? Just to boost the octane of pump gas.

    The sheetz flex fuel near me pumps out e75ish and the octane label has a rating of 94 🧐🤷‍♂

    • @nickmarsden8129
      @nickmarsden8129 25 дней назад +1

      I don’t know why but whenever I use sheetz e85 my timing is always being pulled, but when I switch to speedway e85, zero / very minor timing corrections. Both are mixed with shell 93 to e65ish, on bootmod3 stage 2+ FF.

    • @Gr8ZongB58
      @Gr8ZongB58 24 дня назад

      @@nickmarsden8129 I wish i had more e85 stations around. All I got is sheetz within a 100 miles radius. Never had issues with timing besides 1 or 2 degress in 1 or 2 cylinders.

    yes, im from europe, no ethanol is better, always, for your engine, maybe less power, but it last, all those injector and ofh problems are practically not excisting over here, i tank 102 pure gas octane from germany

    Up here in Ontario, Canada all gas now contains up to 10%. Someone who works at shell claims their 93 only has up to 7%. Not sure ,but I stick with shell 93
