Fuel system after 3+ years on E85

Nothing to see here. This forum is trash now.

That is awesome to see, something I was taking into consideration on deciding about e85. It looks better than what Dino gas would end up.

Sweet write up, that's for sharing the experience.

Interesting, most all the injectors that I have seen with that nasty black goo buildup have been FIC and/or other Rochester based injectors.

Awesome write up! Thank you for taking the time to take pictures of everything. I have been running E-85 for several years myself and have been loving every minute of it.

This thread needs to be a Sticky!

OG FP Green. Injectors are at max.

Car makes 412whp / 401wtq on GST Mustang Dyno (proper low reading mustang dyno)

The BBK Full is capable of approx 450-470 whp on the same dyno and yes you would need larger injectors to reach it's full potential.

This is great to see! I just made the switch. How do you tell the sock is ok, cuz there's some dark stuff in there? Also, do you run a supplemental fuel filter?
