Start by cleaning the earth points,
Also check the voltage drop over 24hrs then try removing the power and exciter wire off the alternator and check the voltage drop again over 24 he period
E85 requires a stoichiometric ratio of 9.7 to 1
Gasoline has a stoichiometric ratio of 14.7 to 1
so for simplification lets say you need 1/3 more fuel going in on e85 than petrol.
Standard injectors max out at around 210 ish hp
on E85 their maximum flow rate would only allow 150 ish hp.
Most of...
