You will have to put a much bigger fuel cell or a gas tank in the car.
A working Fuel gage would also help alot. especially if you continue to drive the car to events.

How many fuel stops did you make on your trip to Ironworks and to Eltoro?

Well more importantly I will need more E85 stations to saturate Calif before I consider moving forward.... it's a backburner idea for now most def.

My 16 gal cell is about as big as I'd want in this car. I'm trying to lose weight not gain!

We made 1 stop from Gilroy to Ironworks, and then 1 more after the grapevine. My current range is about 130-150 miles I'd say.

I think the sending unit is bad in mine as it's never worked since I acquired it.

Did your buddy get back to you?

We built a Supra that puts down 1060ish on E85.

A couple of problems to consider:
The one station in the area that carried it stopped selling it. He stopped selling it because of the wear and tear on his equipment.

The same goes for the car. There are no Ethonol "approved" lines. Well there were not a few years back when we built that supra. Regular fuel line works but it is soem nasty stuff and regular maintenence or monitoring is suggested.
The main thin we found is that fitting started to seap within 6 months and the first lines we made became gummy inside. So we made new ones of course.

The other issue is that there was ABSOLUTLY no consistency with the ethonol content of the fuel. It would be as low as E-70 and upwards from there. That can wreck havoc on a tune.

Summit has fuel lines compatible with Ethanol.
