Switching Back to E85
Question...I'm making the switch back to E85 tomorrow. As far as I understand it, all I have to do is syphon the 91 octane fuel out of the tank (got a syphon contraption I picked up from autozone), dump some E85 in there (only planning on putting maybe 5 gallons or so in there), switch the map over, adjust the boost controller, and then just start her up.
Is there anything else I should do or be cautious of? I know not to drive her hard until I go through a tank of E85 or so.
I also have a new can of sea foam that I was thinking of putting into the tank and another can of sea foam to put through the air intake (wont do the air intake until later this week). Should I put the sea foam in the tank when I dump some E85 in there or do it after I go through a tank or so of E85?
Thanks!!

Looks good to me. Cycle the key to prime the fuel pump a couple times before you start it up. Siphoning is up to you. I just run down to 1 gal or so and fill up with half tank e85, then baby it till that runs out and fill up again with e85. I'd skip the seafoam, your call.

Tight. Thanks.
I just figured that the seafoam would help the small 5 gallon batch of E85 filter through everything and once I run that down and fill up the tank with E85 it would be good to go.

Nah no seafoam. Just swap fuels, don't boost till you run a few gallons through, refill, have fun.
I'll take some of your 91 for you though Daniel.....
