Ive too gone through that path where my whole fuel system was changed due to one bad batch. Thankfully it was all done by ford under warranty.

One thing to note is that e85 gives the fuel system a good flush and dislodges a lot of nasties. Paul Yaw (injector Dynamics himself) has quoted that a 10 micron maximum should be used with their injectors. This is why I went from the 25 stainless to the 6 micron micro-fiberglass. I listen to experts and implement their advice....it's about time some people jumped on this train!

Good info. Think I should pass this onto my tuner. Thanks.

The 6 micron micro-fibreglass you replace. Personally I would rather replace it than clean it anyway. Im on my third aftermarket filter due to laziness lol.

Haha yeh I'd probably do the same just chuck a new one in. You could extend your service interals with the filter set up too right.

started upgrading my fuel lines to braided hose to get rid of stock filter as it was a bastard last time I went to change it and had to reuse old filter as it would not seal with 2 new filters I had here.. here are a few pics will be changing the fuel pumps to a single aeromotive A1000 pump and get rid of the 2 044's just waiting for that to get here from summit.. only progress pics atm will be finished in a week or 2. cheers
