JB4 with E85 and flex wires who has done this?
So we have an 18 gallon tank on the 535
With 93 coming with 10% ethanol I did 16 Gallons 93 converting to 1.6 in ethanol than adding 2 gallons of E85 for 3.6 gallons in total for 20% mix Did not have flex fuel wires on map 5, was pulling like a freight train! I just got the flex wires from BMS, has anyone done any E85 mixing or is using the flex wires would like your input. Debating on installing the wires have only seen 1 post on a 20% E85 mix with 91. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...hlight=e85+mix Would like to hear your thoughts!

I don't have a jb4, or flex wires, but I've mixed 6 gallons e85 per tank with no problems for 5 months now. I guess the only thing I've noticed besides increase of power is sometimes it takes a few extra turnovers when starting from a cold start. Sometimes.
I didn't have the extra turnovers when I was doing 4 gallons per tank. Don't know if that helps you, but the e85 is helping me

e85 has difference trim percentages depending on the season, but west coast idk if that changes because of the weather.
