this is the catalouge that the info came from

Im installing -6 in my speedway car, would post photos of the F100 but it is against company policy to post photos of customer cars without their written consent...
Hope this clears things up a little.
No idea, the nozzles are the same size at the bowser... never seen an E85 plate sticker, come to think of it, the missuses VE wagon is flex fuel and has no stickers on the plates, only one inside the fuel door...Short of taking my V8 Supercar to the local E85 pump, how is anyone suppose to know whether or not a modified vehicle is E85 compatible? Do you get a sticker for your number plate maybe, like LPG & Hybrid do? I'm not being argumentative, there's method to my madness in asking these questions. Reason being is my fuel tank is steel, not plastic, and as such will be prone to rusting out if E85 is used and allowed to sit, which will be the case as it will be restricted to club reg. Will the steel tank fail E85 compliance from an engineer's point of view? Plan is to use Sta-bil fuel additive, but that may not be enough to satisfy the engineer? Am I going to have to buy an after-market legal E85 fuel tank?
Im sure it will list the type of fuel in the tank at the time of emission testing - now a must in Victoria as at January this year...I've never actually seen the paper-work you get with a Engineers Report, so I don't know what details are listed. Does it explicitly state that the modified vehicle has been specifically built or modified to use E85?
Considered that. I was looking at this product: http://www.ppcco.com.au/por19.htmlBiggvl wrote:The best solution to the fuel tank problem its to add a tank liner, will never rust again, I use KBS tank sealer kits on all my cars, works great![]()
that stuff works fine alsoConsidered that. I was looking at this product: http://www.ppcco.com.au/por19.html
I'm aware of E85 and its hygroscopic properties, and the problems it causes, but I'm just going on the research I have done. This is the exact stuff to buy from what I have read:Biggvl wrote:yes, won't stop the fuel going off, really neither would sta-bil... but will stop rusting of the tank. (the liner that is)
Rusting occurs because E85 is more hygroscopic than ULP - Hygroscopy is the ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment. This is achieved through either absorption or adsorption with the absorbing or adsorbing substance becoming physically changed somewhat. (wikipedia)
So I don't understand how sta-bil will get the water out of your tank to stop the rusting... I look after a couple of car collections for customers, we have a policy of when the vehicle gets put away - the tank gets topped off, less surface area to attract water... Also less vapor produced, therefore fuel stays fresher for longer (because fuel components aren't off balance)...
