stee3 Member 194 Member For: 14y 13d Posted 20/12/12 01:43 AM Share Posted 20/12/12 01:43 AM I'm still waiting on proof that the standard fuel tank, swirl pot, float etc are compatable with E85Dont know of any that have failed yet only time will tell.are you running foam allmtr and f*ck me your car is getting lighter everyday man ive just started taking weight out but I try and keep safety in mind aswell do you run a reducer on the a1000 fuel pump because they come out -10 or am I missinformed on that?If your rail is dual feed you will need to do like what I have done and use a y fitting to split into 2 lines and have each side going into the fuel rail.

I'm pretty sure it does.They do add these additives to E85..Oh and Ratter, I did have a problem with the surgetank hoses, they were cracked to a inch of its life, process west have given me new ones but he couldnt work out why they were like that as they were meant to be E85 compatible.
