Not related to the topic I'm afraid, but did you have to change any of the other components of your fuel system to suit the E85? I have an E85 station near me (Mäntsälä) and was thinking about converting the Golf to run on it. I heard that the rubber o-rings in the fuel system could degrade in contact with methanol, and that the fuel pump would need to be changed.

On the original topic, and I don't know the mpguino at all, but could you change the injector flow rate stored in the mpguino until it matches the actual fuel consumed? Just fooling it into thinking the engine has bigger injectors/worse FE - it doesn't need to know what fuel you're using, or does it?
