Not a chance man.... Even if there were there is a fair bit of work to be done to your car before you can even use it. I believe you need teflon fuel lines as well as replacement of injector seals. You need a mapable ecu and a fuel flex system that allows the monitoring and adjustment of E85/98ron mix. You can run the car on just 98 or E85 or a combination of the two. That then mean you need two ecu maps one for 98 and one for 85... E85 has a great anti knock properties,its a shame we dont get a choice in what we would like to experiment with in our cars...

Just to add from my experience you don't need to convert any and every car only thing you have to worry about is that any car pre 91 even then you can run a blend of 50 50 . However,Apparently E85 has been used in places like Brazil for years without issue and they have alot of old cars.
Anyway It appears to burn cleaner at a lower temp and more complete as the alcohol increase the octane rate. The engine light can come on like it did in our xtrail as the O2 sensor gets a bit confused as the emissions are cleaner and out of its expectes range fill her back up with regular gas and shes all good. The xtrails done almost 300000km mostly on E85. Im not sure I'd like to try it in the 200 but then i would have never of dreamed putting 91 in a Skyline but most of them do over here without any issue they seem to just put in what ever the bank balance reflects at the time normally 91 or E85.
You need roughly 30% more E85 compared with SUL for similar output.
So be aware your injectors and pump will be working overtime!
Guys no offence but im asking there is any place I can put that thing in my tank, im not asking how to prepare my car to use it, and im not asking how it works...
Like I said no offence and dont take it wrong but I really know how it works and my 750cc injectors (planning to go 1000cc) and my 420 fuel pump (can add one extra, not a problem) are good enough to use it.
Might be worth a try. These guys use to deliver the stuff not sure any more this was years ago

You can buy e85 by the drum but it's considered as race fuel, son I'm not sure of the legality of using it on the road if that's what you're after. Also, it's not cheap, £100 for 25 litres

When did they sell it in uk??
Its also a pig to keep once youve opend a drum.
Morissons used to have it at their supermarket petrol stations back in 2009 ish
Errr £100 for 25 litres ? Lol , anywhere in the world that petrol is like twice CHEAPER than normal petrol because is Bio Fuel, but not in the UK, in the UK its a race fuel so its like 4 time more expensive.
Wtf is wrong with that place...
Really thats mad.. I never use morrisons for fuel,hence why i hadnt seen it.
So I think thats it
Good morning
Thank you for your enquiry which we have received via our Territory Manager Debbie.
Unfortunately E85 is not currently available in the UK on most (if any) forecourts.
Kind regards
