Well there are 2 gas station that my buddy uses that have tested with high E85 in the ball part of 80 to 84%. I also found an Orion gas station that has E90 which states that its 90% Ethanol. I would love to try it out but once I'm tuned. I'm waiting for my 2021 GT to come.
What tune are you using?

If you're wanting to get the full benefits of E85 I would recommend going with a Lund tune. Then you'll be able to run a full tank of E85 and not have to worry about making sure you're getting the mixture correct or getting a few bad gallons or E85.

Feel Free to DM me or call with any questions.

The duty cycle on the injectors are probably having a mental breakdown. There's a reason why FORD says max E15. Gen 2/3 coyote makes no difference. actually gen 3 probably cause if it running only on the PFI or DI side the injectors are much smaller than the Gen 2's.

The duty cycle is just fine. The ECM can compensate for E30 without any ill effects.

If you're not getting any additional timing from running the extra ethanol, then all you are doing is wasting more gas to achieve the same thing. Get a tune or keep wasting money. Your choice.

You will get more timing. The ECM senses knock and if it finds none adds spark till it finds knock or runs out of adjustment range.

What does it trim out at when running E30 ?

You work your way up to WOT.

If you know how to read logs it is not dangerous.
