MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Ethanol/E85... what would one need to do?

Thor06 · 05-03-2006

Of the threads I found only one had any remotely useable information and that was several years old and the guy wasnt exactly sure of what all needed to be done. Obviously some people know about converting if they are running E85/ethanol, but I just didnt find any current info on it. If you have better luck searching please help me out with a link.

I've been around forums a while guys, I did search, I didnt find what I was looking for, so I asked.

EDIT: What I did find... the fuel pump needs to be grounded, rubber that will touch the fuel needs to be switched out with teflon, and it will corrode aluminum. Is there anything else? Will the stock gas tank work ok? Fuel lines? Will I need replace any internals? Any other more current info?
