Lets not forget how well it cleans/keeps clean the carbon in the combustion chamber

...You could also fill her up with 22 gallons of 93 and 4 gallons of E85 and she would run even better still...

Run better how?

Run better how?

Well with that setup the octane rating would be about 95 and alcohol content between 12% and 19%. The engine will make more power, run cooler, be more responsive, get better mileage, etc. You ought to run some through your motor sometime.

As a side note i use ethanol free premium from the marina in my 35 donzi zf ehich has older 2 stroke mercs and i add stabil for winter storage. This is 92 octane ( engines req 90) so a little added protection.

Yessir, I believe you are correct. Do you run ethanol in your Suburban?

I’ve never heard that before how many tanks ?

No, just race gas when the offshore race teams are in town.

What would be the ratio for a 31 gallon tank?

I've experienced mine stabilizing performance wise after the 4th or 5th tank on straight E85 before. Each tankful was getting higher and higher with regards to alcohol content too. In addition, mine seems to be always re-analyzing what's in the tank and adjusting the alcohol content, even if just a percent or two when the same fuel is in the tank for a week or four.

What would be the ratio for a 31 gallon tank?

Well, my light comes on when there's still 5 gallons on board so I figure for 26 gallons usually. So if yours is similar 22 and 4. The final numbers depend on what the remnant is too and I take that into account as well. The numbers wouldn't be as high is we were pouring that mix on top of 87 that was still in the tank.
