I think the main thing with ethanol is that it eats regular fuel lines- must have stainless lines. If the tune senses knock, it will pull timing, unless there is some sort of sensor.

EXACTLY. Bad *** car, sorry *** burnout.
The computer knows the difference between the fuels. Hence 'flex fuel'.

There are sensors in the tank that measure the % of E-85. Newer trucks have it and on the tuning software you can adjust those tables too.

i wonder if you could use the high and low octane tables. sinc ethe car self checks when it starts up, it should, theoretically, pick the rick table for whichever fuel or combination of fuel is there.

That car was built by Pratt + Miller- they build the LeMans Vettes. They are making I think maybe 20? or so for about 185K! Jay bought the first one. It was in Corvette Magazine a couple of months ago. If you got the money.....
