On the road we stopped on South Dakota today. Gas station had no gas only E10, E20, and E30. Bought E10 to burn up. Glad it is not hot out. Minnesota has gas priced less than E10 today.

Good thing you have the megasquirt. Assuming you used Ethanol resistant materials in your system, are running closed loop with oxygen sensors and have a system pressure of over 40 PSI you have nothing to worry about even at the higher "E" concentrations.

FWIW, running at close to 60 psi will eliminate any possibility of vapor lock even on E85.

I've done a lot of E85 setups for high performance applications. If you have questions on the use of Corn Fuel, feel free to PM me.
