Default Re: How to Blend Your Own Fuel, and Why You Should

Thanks for the info. I've got a full plate of things to test: (1) next transaxle oil flush and change, (2) exhaust mods, (3) battery experiments, and (4) tire experiments. However, I may be able to squeeze in an ethanol test in the spring. I need 'standard days' and that is at least four months away.

What I can measure is the speed, fuel trim, air flow, injector timing, ICE rpm and ICE torque while the car is running. I have a standard hill that I climb at 55 miles per hour to get reproducible energy data. In the spring, I can do the fuel tests just after my spring oil change and maintenance.

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
