Keep checking injectors if running E85

Pulled my injectors today. Been running this 2.4 on E85 for about 6000 miles now, not pretty. These are 2150Fic and ive been filling up mostly at pacific pride in Richland and a few times in Sunnyside , WA and Bingen WA.
Im going to run pump gas to see if it cleans them off any more, had them soaking in pump gas (just the tip, individualy) for about 10min a piece and that cleaned a bunch of the gunk off.

Just keep a eye out for this build up, ive seen some really ugly injectors almost fully caked shut.

this is exactly why I get mine cleaned every year.. They get tested and returned to me for a very cheap cost. Thanks.

Old news, there are multiple threads on the black goo on here and numerous other forums on it, and it's not necessarily a build up over a long period, it can happen in much less time than that.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be converting to E-85 soon.

Do you run a catch can or do you still run the PVC?
Were do you get your E-85 from?
Do you use lucas oil E85 Stabilizer?

Deleted PCV valve,
and one way catch can , not circulated back to anything but the ground.

The main stations i use are Pacific Prides (Richland WA, the other i have used on trips west is pacific pride in Bingen) Then there is a station on the way to the track in Yakima its in Sunnyside WA not sure what it is. But 98% of my gas is from the Pacific Pride in Richland.
