  1. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Hey bud, good to see you over here as well. Thank you for the kind words about the app, It was a ton of work and kind of a labor of love. The needed solution just did not exist anywhere. Here in California, we do indeed have "true" E85, however, the regulations are that it needs to be a minimum...
  2. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    And this is from a technically astute Ford Technician (his job).
  3. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    You do realize Ford and many other manufacturers make Flex Fuel vehicles that run on E85 for life? And you realize they use the same exact components exposed to fuel as the gasoline versions? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I'm not making any extraordinary claims, you are...
  4. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Where have we come to where a polite and honest request, to have a debate based on sound, scientific evidence, results in sarcasm and laughter. Oh yeah, I know where we are, the world of "alternative facts"...
  5. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    As I said just above, post up any peer reviewed scientific evidence of your claims or just stop.
  6. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Again, corrosive, lower power and degradation of rubber and plastic are all patently false claims. Period. Hauling fuel does not in any way make you a fuel expert. If you can post any REAL scientific or engineering studies showing any of this we will start to listen. If you want to refer to...
  7. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    I very much understand the seeming contradiction between EtOH having a lower energy content per volume than gasoline with the fact that it truly makes more hp. This is a completely established fact in Automobile Engineering and across the entire tuning world. Sorry, not debatable here... Added...
  8. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Any error in inputs will lead to a inaccuracies in outputs, in volumes, octanes and EtOH content. That said, Most modern gauges (+computers with lookup tables) account for tank shape with a correction factor so that both level and distance to empty are more accurate. Our Broncos do this. My...
  9. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Patently false. Ethanol increases power period. Time for you to do some actual research.
  10. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Not sure what you are claiming and if I guess, regardless of my guess, I disagree.
  11. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Thanks much. The algorithm and App were a lot of work.
  12. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    Me too, around E60 is fine in the 3.0 [EDIT - E60 with a tune], maybe higher, but I have heard E85 is a no go. Yes. In your tank of course and it doesn't matter what order you add your fuels. It only takes a couple minutes for the new mixture to both fully mix and arrive at your engine. If you...
  13. Save on Fuel (and get more power) - How to Properly Blend with Ethanol

    With sharply rising fuel costs (obviously no politics here, less Admin wrath...) I'm seriously enjoying the stable and low E85 ethanol prices. Here in San Diego, Top Tier 91 octane is often over $6/gal. I don't think the E85 price has budged and for my last fill was around $2.92/gal. Anyway, you...
  14. Are brakes same on all trims / models?

    Maybe I'm just slow, but it must have taken me 4-5 tries to get my rig into brake service mode...
  15. Swamps Code Orange Bronco Raptor Build

    Hyperco 2" lift HD Springs (Rear Only): I kind of got 3 birds with one stone here. Removed spring collars (kind of a temporary/hack fix anyway), leveled the rear (vs. front) and now have springs more appropriate for my load and largely corrected the listing. AI "guesses" that the factory...
  16. What Did You Do To Your Bronco Raptor Today? 🔧 🧰 🪛

    Hyperco 2" lift HD Springs (Rears Only): I kind of got 3 birds with one stone here. Removed spring collars (kind of a temporary/hack fix anyway), leveled the rear (vs. front) and now have springs more appropriate for my load and largely corrected the listing. More back story here as to my...
  17. Joined the Sag & Tilt Club (and Partially Solved)

    When wheeling in the desert 2 weekends ago my buddy mentioned I appeared titled to one side on flat ground. I kind of just dismissed it and didn't even inspect. Me, no way, I thought. What I did notice later is that my rear end (just looking at fender to wheel gaps) was quite a bit lower than...
  18. Has anyone installed PowerStop brakes on their Braptor?

    ^ Indeed, pads more important than rotors. My ASE Certified mechanic also told me today that no dealer purchased OEM Toyota brake pads last nearly as long as the supposed factory installed pad. Seems like a classic bait and switch... Wouldn't be surprised if the same from Ford.
  19. Has anyone installed PowerStop brakes on their Braptor?

    Initially I considered the whole Power Stop package. After further research and noting how good the factory brakes are, I decided on R1 Concepts rotors and Dynamic Friction Ultimate Duty pads.
