ya.... get some 93 in there!

The octane rating for E-85 is actually 105 so it is not a lack of octane that is causing the knock. Based on what I have read (if I interpreted the info correctly) it is the fact that E-85 is an extremely oxygen rich fuel. I would suggest making your A/F ratio a little richer or blending the E-85 with about 30-40% straight unleaded or E-10.


Did you do the conversion to run the E-85 or did you just start putting it in?

Great indeed is the power of the dragon as the sun, yet humbly and slowly it meanders its way shy, minuscule indeed is the power of the tiny scorpion, yet it swaggers its tail and boasts to the sky.
