I ran it for a while then wuss'd out and went back to regular. When pigs fly and I get boost, I'm going to tune for E85.
I never had any problems or suffered mileage loss.

My dad runs it in his 03 suburban, and it runs like shit. Not sure how the focus handles it, though.

I didn't think they ever made any flex-fuel foci?

I haven't seen a kit. I don't know of anyone using a kit.

I'm running e85. Hi-Tech motorsport is the place to go.

how much is it to convert?
