Darn spiffy!
It looks from the thread on HPT that the stock ecu already included the code to handle flex fueling but it was not enabled. I wonder why GM would leave it disabled? Too much trouble ($$$) to EPA certify, maybe?

I am not sure if the componets in the fuel tanks, the fuel rail and injectors, etc. are compatible with a fuel that has more than 15% ethanol by volume?

Good point!
I am not smart enough to do this, but it is a great write up!

Obviously fuel system upgrades are required in most cases. This just handles the PCM functionality.

Thanks for the guide. I will probably go ahead and set this up here sometime in the future. Currently, I am tuned 100% on e85 here in Chicago. While it is available at some gas stations the added security of never getting stranded would be a huge benefit.

It's a "Steckmonster" thread if ever there was one.
For sure, worthy of "Tech Contributor" status without question. More deserving than me I dare say!
