I have a flex fuel 5.3 in my gmc pickup. At 10:1, it sometimes pings on straight gasoline. Yesterday I added 7 gallons of E85 to the tank, then topped off with gas, for total of 25 gallons. No pinging, and no loss of power either. My truck doesnt run well on straight E85 in the summers in Arizona.
My question is: How much E85 can I blend with gas in a normal carburated system without damage to fuel system? Bear in mind most of Phoenix gas is E10 year round. 25% E85?
