    e-85

    if you have e-90,and you want to proff it to e-85,say on 10 gallons would add one half gallons of gas?

    If the gas you are using to cut it with is pump gas it will also have a content of ethanol in it which makes it tuff to do an exact calcultion

    I can tell you that trying to correct your fuel mix in a 5 gal. fuel jug will drive you insane----its too touchy to small amounts of additive.

    I have found that 30 gals. in a 55 gal drum is the easiest to adjust----its still light enough that after adding some fuel or ethanol you can roll it around a bit to mix

    it is easier to bring it down than it is to bring it up so work in small steps

    and only use ethanol to bring it up-----for some reason people think ethanol and methanol are the same fuel----But they are NOT and you will have a bunch of junk fuel if you put metanol into it

        nice set up----if you click on his tester there is an actual sample graph and at the end result of each line it states "should equal E85"

        so he has done the math but admits that it doesn't always work out

        good starting ground but I still say add a little at a time and work in larger quanitys

        you will be a pro in no time LOL
