Full tank of e85 on accident??

Bstone · 07-05-2013, 09:20 PM

Ok so last night I stopped to get gas. I had 8 miles left on my tank, I filled up (what the pump read to be) 6 gallons of 85. Planned to add 9 gallons of 93 only to find out that my tank was full after a gallon of 93 oct.

So the meter was clearly off on the pump, but how bad is it to run this much e85?

I've just been driving it easy not pushing the car trying to burn off the fuel so I can add some 93.

Looks like you got 15 gallons of E85 for the price of 6?
