Is this toward me? I think I was basically saying this lol.
Nope, post above yours.
I love E85 havent had one problem...yet lol. Ron does all my tuning, cant go wrong their. I have a Zeitronix ECA for easy monitoring and evoscan for logging some WOT pulls.
That's what everyone says until they plug an injector and window the block. Play it safe and run a tank of gas through the system every month. I sell the shit for a living, I'm not making this up.

And if not a tank of pump, at the very least an E85 specific cleaner of some sort. Both Lucas and Gumout sell products designed to clean E85 fuel systems.
When my injectors come out this spring we'll see how well the Lucas offering has been doing.

^Excellent point. Other fuel additives such as Chevon Techron are also supposed to be compatible with ethanol. The problem is there are just no standards or requirements for E85 like there is pump gasoline.

Hmm, I've gone about 8000 miles on E-fuel since looking at my injectors. Now I am super curious to know what they look like. I'll find out when I swap the heads in a week.

I've asked Ron these same questions about the injectors gumming up and he said hes never seen one do that.

I put 10k miles on my dw1300's, they looked perfect when I pulled them.
I guess all of those miles weren't e85, all but maybe 1000 or 1500 were though.

It all depends on your E85source. The E85 down here is notorious for it; seems hit or miss up there.

Some local's hit with gunk as long as 4-5 years ago now.

Could be a higher quality of local fuel? Somehow I doubt that though. I've seen so many images of the gunk that it's just easier for me to be safe than sorry. It's not a myth, that's for damn sure.

Yeah i suppose, maybe later this spring when a few more EF2.5's get tuned and tweaked I'll get a 91 map as well.
