Hello again Roy. Your Dyno guy is correct about variations in blends from state to state and even station to station. We are in the southeast United States and our blends are pretty contestant. I have a link on the web site to the winter / summer blend schedule broken down by state. Here's a link www.e85mustangs.com/regions123.html
We do sell very simple fuel tester that consist of a test tube with markings on the side to where you put in a little water then a sample of fuel and shake it up then a parting line appears and shows the amount of ethanol that sample of fuel has in it. It's very simple, cheap and effective. We will include one when we do your conversion if you like. As far as the variation in fuel goes, it's not a big deal, especially with your blown combination. It may vary 15% (85% to 70% ethanol) or so from summer to winter. We hardly notice a difference. If you get a hugh swing from your baseline tune-up all you have to do is adjust your main jetting in the carb. or swap the pulley on the blower (which is what we usually do) to compensate then your right back to the proper air / fuel ratio. Thanks for your question, hope to talk to you again soon - Heath.
