i'm not sure what your tuner is telling u about it being thicker. as i said get 20L of E85 and 20L of BP98 etc and measure how high they sit. if e85 was alot thicker the drums wouldn't be the same size.


1 gallon of gasoline produces 114,000 BTU's
1 gallon of E85 produces 76,000 BTU's
that is why 30% bigger injectors and fuel pumps are needed.
