- | If you're running a mix (say 50% E85 and 50% gasoline), then you have to do a little more work. As an example, let's assume you're running 75% E85 and 25% gasoline. The new gas ratio in this case would be: | + | If you're running a mix (say 75% E85 and 25% gasoline), then you have to do a little more work.

- | 0.75 * 0.670 + 0.25 * 1 = 0.7525 | + | 0.75 * 0.670 + 0.25 * 1 = 0.7525 |
- | With that new ratio calculated, you can calculate your effective injector flow rate the same as above. | + | With that new ratio calculated, you can calculate your effective injector flow rate the same as above (assuming 850 cc/min injectors again). |
- | 850 * 0.7525 = 640 | + | 850 * 0.7525 = 640 |
So instead of 570 cc/min that results from 100% E85, your injectors will actually flow like 640 cc/min injectors with a 75% E85/25% gas mix. You can then calculate the global fuel same as always. | So instead of 570 cc/min that results from 100% E85, your injectors will actually flow like 640 cc/min injectors with a 75% E85/25% gas mix.
