looks to be made with cheap fittings - I'd steer clear. Also filter is 100micron - would want another, finer filter atfer that me thinks

one of the drag cars that's sponsored by a cheap fitting mob apparently uses the more expensive and better quality fittings in the race car

Well I asked the vendor a question and this is the reply:

Gday Ryan,

our pumps are methanol freindly but I would not reccomend switching to e85 fuel as it is extremly corrosive 044 pumps ,this fuel has a tendancy to rust out your entire fuel system from the inside out and attracts water in your fuel system when sitting around ,bosch 044 pumps also arnt really compatible with e85 around 500 hours of running time on e85 if your lucky ,our pumps are simular but ours can run methanol , we run the same casing which also will get chewed out by the e85 ,what will likely happen is your 044 pump life can be drasticly shortened due to the corrosive nature of this fuel ,also you must remember when running e 85 you require 30% more fuel flow meaning nothing less than -10 fuel lines to keep required fuel flow rates your injector ratings will also drop 30% , you can run aeromotive stealth 340 ltr intank pump this is manufactured with a different material which can stand up to e85 and external pumps I think their called fuel lab pumps also can handle e 85 ,and to awnswer your question we have had so many xr 6 turbo customers supercharged v8 and 6s and 4 cylinder twin turbo;s the list is endless and xr8 hsv r8 gts ss we cant keep track of them but everyone loves our fuel systems ,I havnt got a photo of a xr6 customers set up we should get some thanks for your idea ,also make sure your injectors are flex fuel rated for e85 we have 1400cc ones instock ,I hope we have helped you reguards shane GHOSTAUTO

I thank him for taking the time to reply, the information about the 044's and E85 I found surprising though...
