Using E30 with Tune

Tenacious X · 06-23-2019, 07:40 AM

I am using BM3 with my M40i & noticed they just released new OTS maps for use with E30.

Ive never used E30 before and I'm not sure if I use it straight or do I use a mix along with 93 octane & if its a mix what ratio? It might be a stupid question but I don't want to mess anything up with my ignorance.

Any input from peeps that currently run E30 with a tune would be greatly appreciated.

Why not go straight to the source and ask PTF? I've heard they are really responsive with support.

I wrote to them on Friday but it was after they were closed. They have always responded quickly & I'm sure this will be no different. I just wanted to play with my new toy and didn't want to wait!

2 things you want to do before running E30

1. Make sure the E85 is E85... the local station by me sell "E85" but I tested it and it appears it is usually around 65-70% Ethanol. Which means I would need MORE "E85" from the pump to hit whatever ethanol mix I was going for. I have a tester and there are plenty out there.

2. Use this to calculate how much gas you would need to make E30 -> http://www.georgebelton.com/E85Calculator.php

Have fun! And also head to the track

Thanks for the suggestion, that makes perfect sense. I'm looking forward to the next fill up and seeing what this is all about
