Correct fuel lines, stainless steel modern injectors, stainless steel fittings, stainless steel fuel rails and tanks will all minimise any currant and future problems running flex fuels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example is the plastic fuel tank suitable. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example is the plastic fuel tank suitable.CheersThe B and F series Falcons have all the correct gear to support E85 if left standard.Plastic tanks in modern cars are fine and etahnol resistant.E85 may cause problems when aftermarket modifications are added that can deteriate when using flex fuels.Some examples can be untreated aluminium components , non modern style rubber fuel lines.mild steel or lead style fuel tanks etc , older style fuel injectors.

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 03/01/13 04:50 AM Share Posted 03/01/13 04:50 AM Is it true that E85 causes mild steel exhausts to deteriorate a lot faster?
