Your 0-rings were about to leak anyhow, IF you had just filled up on the e10...shit, straight methanol takes a long as time to eat through rubber. I've run E85 on a walbro 190, siemens off the shelf injectors, aluminum rail and regulator and NEVER had a leak on the system. Its been this way for 2 years and sits for long periods of time (worst for systems as it then gets time to eat the material).
so your statement =
my ass off
So, with that said, E10 will yield a slightly worse gas mileage. Over my
2 years of running it, I had noticed a 1-2 mpg drop in my mileage, as is expected.
1st, where are you buying E85? Not in the tampa area, so wtf are you trolling here for?
2nd, whats the dynamic compression of your car. As every study shows you need at least a 13:1 or better for ethanol usage.
Not to mention a tune for it, since the The stoichiometric value for gasoline engines is approx 14.7:1 air to fuel, whereas the "stic" for alcohol is around 9.x:1. Obviously, fuel tables for gasoline will not work when alcohol content is high.
