Is there anything in the manual about running regular gas in it from time to time?

I doubt they recommend leaving E85 in it all times

I was hoping there would be more overhead with the injectors… but to say I’m satisfied with what they did would be an understatement.

I try to keep it full year round
Weatherman screwed me Monday
Suppose to be sunny
Snowed
Snow = salt
Salt = storage

Some people say Stay bil
Some say Seafoam
Some say nothing

I don t drive enough to burn the gas off so I m not sure what would be the best

The only time I race is to the beer store

Only reason back when to fill the tank was to keep moisture out of steel gas tank. Most cars have plastic tanks so reason to do it

Makes sense

Demon 170 says bring down Corn to 12 % or less

Not sure what people do with 5 10 15 cars during storage

I'm still new to the e85 so I dont have the facts. Last year and this year I ran the e85 out and put some 93 in a few gallons. Storage is about 8 miles away so it was driven some.

Being from MI with long storage terms
Any thoughts on winter additives ?

Stabil seems to be ok. With only a few gallons in mine I don't put anything in it

I always made sure to cycle the e85 through my car at least monthly. Typically I only filled up to 1/2 a tank to avoid it being in there too long. I have seen cars that sat too long and the e85 got gooey and it was a mess. You can always test this by putting some in a jar and see what happens to it over time. I might do that myself just out of curiosity.

On the 170, I think it's a critical point that it makes full power on E65. People are already just dumping E98 in the car which not only isn't helping, but likely hurting their performance. I'd personally shoot for around E70 to E75 to keep pressure off the fuel system.

I jack up the rear end of my 210 and let the engine idle/run to warm up. Then put it in gear to let it run for about 5 minutes or so.

Gets the fluids moving around and burns some gas. Also rotates the tires so they don't flat spot.

I do this a couple times a month.

Its always a good idea to run some 93 between tanks of e85.

Say you run 3 tanks of e85.
Id throw in at least a half tank of 93 and drive on that until empty then put E85 back in.

For me E85 didn't make sense. None of it around here checks out very well and I was advised against buying it by the drum from the VP dealer because of the summer heat, how much I would use and it going bad.

That would be once a month or more for me. I have only run e85 all summer for the last 2 years. I have no interest in running 93. I have known a few people that run e85 only in the summer.
