Exclamation help, do I need to drain fuel?

Accidently put $10 of united ethanol 85% in my car.
Will it be okay if I fill the rest of the tank up with regular fuel or do I need to get my tank drained?
Yes I fucked up.
1999 wrx, mostly stock with aftermarket exhaust but I did go to buy an sti ecu second hand and the guy looked over my car and said he thinks I have an sti ecu already and upgraded injectors.
Tried to google my problem but all the different percentages and ratings gave me a headache.
I have rac roadside assistance.

Thanks

I think its ok as long as u don't go full boost. U car will just run a bit lean.

Thank you very much, I can relax now ahah.
I'll just stay away from boosting until I run this tank empty.
Awesome

MY99/00 WRX GC8 with STI ECU works, with 2 wires swapped, and is a nice upgrade. I have done it, as have a few others. There is a thread floating about how to / why to.


To the OP, $10 of E85 and fill the tank with 98 should make a nice mix of about 100RON fuel?
