sleeper06 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I would think it would be same protocall as meth,power jet and you might have ti drill dumps out,bigger bowls,pingle,one of my boys co workers sais he does it on jet skis all day long 40% jet increase depending on motor but the seals in the motors need to be changed more frequently because they were not designed to take the abuse from the ethenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 you have to treat e85 just like methanol. use alky specific oil, jetting from 85 to meth is nearly the same e85 dosent require as much fuel to make a clean burn butits close. for the cost id just go alky as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 anyone have proof of the ethanol being harder on the seals or just hearsay at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 after screwing with e85 i just decided that it wasnt worth the hassle since methanol is the same amount of work and results in more powa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
