Wouldn't that make the engine run lean since E85 has a different stoichiometric ratio than gasoline? |

Yes. You obviously have to tune for e85. And update your fuel lines.

Yeah, he's better off running a little race fuel mixed with the bad gas to "clear it up" until he gets some fresh fuel. I'd never run e85 without a proper tune for it

I wouldnt run straight E85 for awhile, Id just mix it to get either 93 or 96 octane. Quite a few guys run 93 with no problems. I mixed it when I was in NE and I had around 96 octane and it ran great. I only have about a 1/4 tank right now, so it wont take me long to get rid of it. I dropped the inlaws off at LAX today and that knocked it down there pretty good.

Be careful with the purity of CA E85
