It seems that going with mechanical injection and E-85 would be a little more reliable than an E-85 carb setup. I guess you could ad the cylinder lube to it as well. Testing the fuel sounds like a good idea! You never know how long it has been sitting in that tank! :smile30:
I would say that testing is a must for e85, unless you are buying from a race gas supplier that verifies it being e85.
Even though the testing is not perfect, it will let you know that you are getting e85 and not e70 or other low ethanol percentage.
Every time I have purchased e85, it has tested at least e84, but usually closer to e86 or e87. I purchase it only during the warmer months.
In some areas, usually colder, they may sell winter blends which are closer to e70 to help starting. I don't know if they switch here.
