Can we use E85 with our quads and fuel injection? And if so, what settings will have to be done?
It by itself it is around 104 octane, which is about what I was getting with my mix, but the E85 is half the price.

Is it oxygenated? And I think higher octane makes the o-rings around our injectors swell, unless you get the replacements from Brad.

Ethanol is pretty hard on rubber hoses and o-rings. I don't think it would run very good. There is less energy in ethanol, then gasoline and that is why the octane rating is higher. When I had my predator the manual said 10% ethanol or less. If you are looking for a cheaper high octane fuel I would recommend Av Gas 100LL.

AV gas is leaded though, that is illegal at nationals and I don't think the extra build up is good for our motors either.
