Similar thing with fuel pump.May aswell do pump & surge too then Oh if if I did go E85 I'd get one, cause you actually need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a Walbro in and you can run e85 up to low 300s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All have been fine, but they are also all genuine ford filters.Ryco, and other non genuine ones I can't comment on, but the ford ones are fine.To save confusion or misunderstandings,I'm talking about caltex eflex... The barrel stuff apparently can eat filters and hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
