I would agree on draining the old e85 and refilling with new e85. I had this problem happen to my srt4 before.

Old thread... My x is doing same thing at idle and car completely warmed up. Fresh e85 maybe bad Badge idunno. Boosting fine, AFR seem fine too. Imma just waste this e85 and go refill hopefully that fixes my issue

My 8 doing the same.I take it as normal.

i would drain and re fill since E85 absorbs water this would be the best thing to do !!! GL

I believe the word everyone is referring to is hygroscopicity. That is the word of the day

E85 is hygroscopic, which means it readily absorbs water from the atmosphere. And two months is a long time to have ethanol hanging around.
I've had the same E85 for about 3 weeks and I'm going to drain it.

Ethanol starts to foul in about 1 months time. Anything longer than that I would not recommend.

I thought e85 just makes white smoke come out of the exhaust. Part of running e85

Thought that too, but when it's cold outside and car is warmed up it doesn't even smell like e85 I might be tripping idk. car runs fine and boosts fine and AFR are good too. I think I'm just tripping out idk haha

Yeah i thought E85 alone could make white smoke come out of the exhaust. Mine did that on the dyno only at WOT. People also say it could be blow by. But since i dont have the PCV recirculated into the intake (I just have a breather filter on the valve cover) it has to be fuel. Any similar experiences here?

Water condenses and collects inside your exhaust, especially when the car sits for a while. I once removed the exhaust from my VIII after about 3 weeks of sitting and I swear around half a gallon of water came out.

But generally, yeah, you'll have more water vapor on E than on pump. Chances are you have nothing to worry about.

Mine at first crank and when it's first warming up always puffs white smoke, whether on fresh tank or week old tank, doesn't matter. Goes away once car is warmed up.

Yeah it doesn't seem like oil at all because the oil level doesn't change
