Ford Explorer ST vs Dodge Durango SRT Drag Race

[BadassST]

I downloaded the E85 app and just put in the numbers. It says 18 gal tank should get 8 gallons Of E85 and 10gallons of 93.

I compared all of them and you can tell the difference in each one but the E50 my gosh is sick. I’m going to put in the new high pressure fuel pump so I can run E85 all the time. Suppose to run at 3500 lbs.

Nice. How do you know exactly what is remaining in your tank before you do the mixture?

Cool. Will the E85 perform like the E50?

In theory better, but you need an aftermarket Pump to run full E85 at full potential.

I just downloaded the mixture app. Here is a screenshot of it. How do you get the “Gas Ethanol Content” number? Does it say on the pump?

In VA it is 10...for most Pumps. Most of the time it will say on the Pump, but sometimes it will be a range(5-15). You can test it, but it has always been 10 at the 2 Stations I use.

I've seen the video of the 5 Star tune and am very intrigued....

Does anyone have knowledge/experience on if that voids the warranty and how they can tell? Someone mentioned them seeing "key turns" earlier in this thread but I didn't see what that meant.

I wait until I get to a quarter of a tank before I refill

Cool, thanks. So 1/4 of a tank means you still have 18 gallons until full correct? So if I wanted to minimize the weight for the track, I would just set that number to a lesser amount I guess.

My guy at the dealership said wait until it gets to 1/4 of a tank then plug in the numbers and it should give you the mix. In my case it’s always 8 E85 and 10-91/93

Good info. I’m impressed that your dealer doesn’t care about the mods.

The owner of the dealership is my neighbor. So yeah pretty cool.

My Chevron says minimum E75. So I assume it’s E85. I also put it at E75 and it says add one additional gallon on the app.

What app are you using and did you actually test the E85?

Most Gas(87/93) contains a percentage of Ethanol. In VA that is 10% or E10. I also test my stations E85/Flexfuel every couple of fill-ups. It is currently running at actually E85, but I have seen it as low as E70.

In the mixing app you need to factor the 93 Ethanol content in.

No I have not checked it. I’m using the E85 App it shows you where all the locations are in your area. You are correct. My Chevron has minimum of 10% but the so has room to plug that in. My Chevron says minimum is 75. So I’m just talking their word for it.

This is the app I use and it does a good job. If you are using a ZFG E50 tune, it will handle E40-E60 with no issues.

If you can test, I highly recommend it. My Stations said it can be as low as E51, but it has never been close.
