E30 Fuel Calculator

Figure out how much ethanol and 93 octane to add to hit your target blend.

Version 6 · Oct 28, 2026

1. What's in your tank?

ZFG-supported Fords & Lincolns plus other common E30 cars. Tank sizes are published specs. Double-check your owner's manual.

Gauges and apps hide a reserve below 0%, so a tank never takes its full rated capacity. Calibrate this once from a real fill for exact amounts.

Calibrate from a fill

2. Fuel at the pumps

E85 sold at the pump can actually be E51–E83 depending on season and supplier. Enter a measured value rather than assuming 85%.

3. Add fuel in this order

FIRST • Ethanol fuel—gallons
SECOND • 93 octane—gallons
Expected final blend—
Available tank space—gallons

Adding ethanol first is convenient, but it does not guarantee a precise blend. Tank gauge readings, residual fuel, pump concentration, and fill volume introduce error. Use a verified ethanol sensor or test to confirm the actual blend before high-load driving.

4. After you pump

Type in what the pumps actually showed. If the 93 stops short, that's fine: stop at the first click. The page works out your real blend and sets it as your starting blend for next time.

Important

Confirm with your tuner that your 93-octane calibration supports your chosen ethanol concentration, and follow any logging or fuel-system guidance. This is a blending estimate, not a measurement of actual ethanol content or an approval to run E30. Never exceed the limit for your calibration.
