Secondly, I expect Ralph Wiggum would get hit up for all manner of assistance considering his post on upgrading his own fuel lines with quick disconnect fittings etc. I'm pretty sure it was Ralph, I have it favorited at home so I'll post it when I find it. It may also be this one I'm thinking of, which he has a few posts in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth noting my F6 lives on E85 but im in no illusions about the drawbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to bet thry are cracked and dried out. Even at 12 to 1 comp you can't get around the lower energy content of E85 so not matter how hard you squeeze if your going to need use more of it and the price break just isn't there at the moment and I cannot see that changing if demand goes up. As a performance fuel I think it's the best thing since sliced christmas cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
