Any concern about the fuel system? I used to run straight E85 in my Coyote, no problem, but it was FlexFuel. As it is, in Michigan, we can have "up to" 15% ethanol in gas regardless of octane rating.
Running anymore, I think I'd be thinking of fuel system damage. Just a thought. If my fuel system was designed for corn, I'd be running it, like you, I like the little extra kick!

It does bear some thought.

Oh, the manual states for a fact you can run E15. The newer High pressure fuel pumps have no issues with ethanol, besides the fact that they can't handle the extra needed flow of something like e85 or e98.

Oh ya, if I couldn't run, I'll callit "E15", I'd never find fuel here. What about seals/gaskets, and the fuel lines, they can handle the "E30"?

You won't have any issues with any of it on an E30 blend. Just when you get your tunes just get an e30 tune and a 91 tune and hell an 87 tune if you want. Run whatever you please hehe.

As it is, I've got the 93PRX, the 93 Performance/tow, and 87 Trans tune. Think I'm pretty well covered to run E30 as far as tunes.

Sounds like I need some education on tuning, to keep from derailing, I'm gonna start a new thread.
