After 136km on this tank, put 4.55l RE85, so ran most of this tank on about 13% ethanol.
So far running ok, no engine check light on, smooth tickover. Will ideally fit my wideband O2 sensor to monitor lambda at high load, when ECU may be operating in open loop. Will be interesting to see how cost/km is affected by the ethanol fuel." |
