E-85 Cure With Fuel Additives

[littleloogy]

A few months ago I started a project. I was determined to figure out how to make Full E-85 possible on our platform. I spent an entire weekend brainstorming different ideas with my brother. We also went over all the sane and insane ideas that have been suggested on MSF and came up with a list that might actually work. So the mods began…

I went into my Local Kragen Auto Parts Store one day looking at prices for insulation to wrap my Fuel Pump. I told them to stick it when I saw how much that shit was. I walked down the fuel additive isle on my way out, and being like a raccoon I was attracted to a shiny silver bottle. I pick it up and started to read. “Complete Fuel Treatment…Yada yada yada, cleans injectors… yada yada yada, CLEANS GUMMY RESIDUE” What the Fuck? That’s what is in my spill valve. So I bought a bottle brought it home and stated to Research.

The more I researched the more I discovered how awesome this product is. It contains about 40% by volume PEA (Polyether amine or Techron) and 10-20% by volume Aliphatic Naptha, as @Enki; illustrated Naptha Cleans our sticky death out of our pumps. “This additive (per data sheet) also contains detergents and a synthetic upper cylinder lubricant which will help clean pollution control valves and can reduce octane requirements by 2 numbers.” Now I am getting excited… but will it mix with E-85???? “Suitable for use with oxygenated fuels” -Woohoo!

I put this into my tank (1oz to 1 gallon) and topped off with E. I went home and cleaned my Pump and SV to start Fresh. Since then, I have driven over 1000 miles on Full E with this additive with out any issues with the pump. My fuel Level Sender Went out the Day I started this Additive. I am unsure if my Sender went out because of the additive or because I am a Gen 2. It is OK though, I feel like the fuel gauge does not control my life anymore… I fill up when I want to! Lol

Anyway, I do need to note a Few things that I have experienced. Some Pro’s, Some Cons.
Pros: It keeps the SV Clean. I have not needed to open mine in for over 700 miles and it keeps Sticky Death at bay
Cons: Expensive $0.70 per Gallon!

I Do need to caution anyone who is going to run this additive. I Do not know what Prolonged use will do to our oil, or our injectors. I have been on a 1:1 ratio for the passed 50 Gallons and will be doing a UOA soon to see what kind of damage the additive may cause if it gets in the oil.

So, having said that Without Further Ado, I bring you...
