I run the fast ez efi and would like to know if there are any ill effects mixing turbo blue 110 and summer grade e85. Will the mix have any effect on the wide band 02 sensor?
the system I have is e85 compatible.
Thank you

I wouldn't do it. Very different fuels with different additive packages - and they all might not be compatible. JMO.

how about e85 and 93 octane? I have been told that e85 ranges from 108 to 110 octane? Not sure what is different with turbo blue from 93 octane that's why I am asking these questions.
I do appreciate the replies
Thank you

How you feeling Mike? Check with your local performance fuel shop as to where you can get E-98... they may sell it.. the E-85 is suppose to be 105 octane... E-98 is suppose to be 110 octane.... I'm doing a lot better

Is there a reason to do this? storage or something? Or are you worried about running out of e85, and needing to refill with straight gas?
As far as finding benefits to doing this, I don't see you finding any. If this is just a "what happens if I have to" question... First, you will have an uncontrolled mixture of fuel of which you have no real clue of it's a/f mixture properties. Whatever target ratio is in your efi table will be out of calibration for the mixture.
"use it 'till it breaks, replace as needed"

First, you will have an uncontrolled mixture of fuel of which you have no real clue of it's a/f mixture properties. Whatever target ratio is in your efi table will be out of calibration for the mixture. If his EFI system has an input for one of the common GM style flex fuel sensors it wouldn't be an issue. Without the sensor I don't think any of the aftermarket ECU's are smart enough to infer ethanol content and adjust everything accordingly.
