It won't run extremely well and you'll be down on power, but other than that I think you'll be fine. Just don't do it again and keep putting gas in it every time you drive to dilute the mixture wirh good gas.

corrosion and less mpg. ethanol has a higher octane but less energy dense. it is also hydrophilic.

Likely it'll run just will be running like dog shit but potentially might not run at all unless it's a flex fuel vehicle. Or if it's properly set up for it. I run my shitbox on e85 but I have the proper fuel setup and tune for it. The only real downside is less gas stations have it and I get about 15-17mpg city 24mpg highway where on "pump gas" I get about 20-22 city and 31 highway.

You'll be way lean of what your AFR's should be driving around and under acceleration.
>>
You'll be majorly down on power.
A 50/50 mix will make it hard to drive.

What's the price difference between e85 and normal petrol in yank land.
>>
>>14033989
All your fuel lines rust away and you piss fuel all over the road
>>
your car will run lean and be down on power

I got my rb20det to work fine on e85 on the stock ecu by swapping in ca18det injectors
>>
>>14035513
A 1.8 engine has bigger injectors than a 2.0?
>>
>>14035559
1.8 / 4 = 0.4
2.0 / 6 = 0.333
>>
>>14035559
yes. ca18det injectors are 370cc, and rb20det injectors are 270cc iirc
>>
>>14035573
>>14035580
Ah, my mistake. I read rb20 as sr20.
>>
>>14033989
High concentrations of ethanol will damage all the rubber lines in your car's fuel system.

Likely won't even run.
