JamieP Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 AAoil but it's expensive, most of us buy the fireplace place fuel from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) do the stock lines need to be upgraded to run E85? Edited March 15, 2015 by Hitbox Junkie (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 do the stock lines need to be upgraded to run E85? No stock lines are fine but you need a fuel pump and injectors that can handle alcohol based fuels. (most aftermarket ones do to be honest) - - - Updated - - - Correct. Thank you sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I wouldn't have thought the stock lines would flow enough to make it worth using ethanol? As you use so much more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, Depends how your car is setup really, if your asking can the stock lines handle e85 yeah they can but as jamiep mentioned you would need bigger lines to support more fuel. I run the stock fuel line with an additional an6 coming from the rear to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I would have thought, but I cant see any threads that specificaly say yes or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've been thinking about this for my car recently. I like the idea of the fuel flex sensor linked to the Syvecs. So if I uprated the fuel pipes from tank to the rail, checked to make sure my aftermarket injectors are rated for this type of fuel, bought and installed a fuel flex sensor, uprated to a compatible fuel pump and got the car mapped, basically I could run varying levels of this fuel type? What fuel flex sensor are people using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 SRD has the sensors in stock, think mine is a Titan one. Once it's mapped to a certain %, say 50%. You can run any % up to that and the ecu sorts out the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 No stock lines are fine but you need a fuel pump and injectors that can handle alcohol based fuels. (most aftermarket ones do to be honest) I would not have though the stock full pulsation damper line and feed line are ethanol compatible? Or the in tank lines for that matter. The stock hardcopies under the car would be but thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I have been told by a trader on here that the stock lines would need to be replaced when running meth or ethonol!! But I'm sure Alex hasn't had his lines changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running methanol in tank for a while now with no issues, also who keeps the stock pulsation damper with top feed injectors? never seen that before.

T2 MSW Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You stated the stock likes are fine, but top feed and changing the fuel pulsation damper is not stock any more is it. The OP or someone else reading this may assume that they can just stick Ethenol in based on your statement and its not true they can't - that's all I'm saying not commenting on your setup personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
