On the s10 you have to remove the *metal* fender liner to get to it, and its bolted to the frame, there's a small chance someone with the right build could get it out from underneath... But most of us have to pull the 10+ bolts holding the fender liner in. The taurus's are near the passenger side strut tower.

Maybe I am over thinking this, but what do you do when switching between E85 and pump?
Clearly you must change maps, but when do you make the switch if you still have a gallon left in the tank at fill up? How long do you stay out of boost?

You make the change when you're empty, or you always fill when there's 1 gallon left and you tune on that mix. You can't screw with the E85 mix without taking a big risk with the engine.
I switched Theseus to E85 2 years ago. The hassles are well worth the performance and safety benefits.

I may have posted this link in another E85 thread, but here is a good source for finding locations near you: http://e85prices.com/e85map.php
I am hoping to make the switch this year.

Most of the tracks I go to are in the middle of nowhere (no e85 within 50 miles). Im afraid I would need fuel mid-event and be SOL. I dont want to lug around a 55gal drum of e85. Also, I go to a track or 2 in canada, so I am not sure what the rules are for transporting large quantities of fuel across the border.
