That's not the main filter, that is a sock that is in the passenger side saddle tank. The actual filter is in #14.

 

You won't be able to, it's part of the whole molded assembly and the bottom part is plastic welded on. You will understand when you see it. Trust me I looked into it.

 

Yeah, I kinda figured you would have looked into it. If the filter is clogged, I'm kinda surprised that more people are not having this problem. My car has less than 30K miles on it. I'd guess that people are having the problem but not realizing it.

 

50K miles on my car and no clogs that i know of. *knocks on wood*

 

Are you daily driving with E85?

 

I was daily driving E85 for about 2.5 years. However, past 6 months i've been using mostly pump gas since i recently moved 1 hour away from the E85 station
Switching back to pump gas makes my car feel like a Honduh Civic

 

So, Bryan, should this "sock" filter be changed as well as the $107 item?

 

Im keeping my eye on this too, Im running into the same issue so any updates will be great!

 

Cut off the stock filter and do a dual pump conversion! a-la buschur double-pumper. I think that's how they get 2 to fit, if I remember right. Then run an aftermarket, inline filter.

 

I finally have the info that I need to revisit this thread. Back in December when I noticed the AFRs had gone one point leaner, a dirty fuel filter seemed like an obvious reason, but in the back of my mind, I have been wondering whether it might be something else such as E85 not atomizing well in cold weather or perhaps a batch of fuel that was closer to E95.

To fix the 13:1 lean condition back in December, I just richened up the fuel table by 1 pt. That brought the AFRs down to ~11.5:1-12:1. I just got another set of logs this morning with the exact same "richened" tune in the exact same air temps, and the AFRs are right at 11.0:1, so it seems that for whatever reason, my E85 supplier made a batch of fuel in December that was very high in ethanol content. Makes me wish I would have hooked up my E85 gauge long ago (its on the slate for this week or next week).
