AMS on ka-t did a study on this, they have had rubber parts and aluminum parts submerged in e85 for over a year and they look just like they did on day 1

Are you sure it wasn't Abel Racing in Oklahoma?

I know I dont have much rep on this forum, but I can def. say Jason is a good guy to deal with. Many 240 owners in the chicago area know me, or know someone who does. His tune beats paying 500+ dollars hands down.

My set up is posted a few posts up. He did my tune for me. I pull pretty good on my buddys STI. Its a 05 with a downpipe, and HKS exhaust. Im guessing 290-300whp on 9lbs. I had no problems with the tune. The ecu he sent me was a different code then my original, but functions properly. Just make sure you check that the daughter board is seated correctly. Shipping can jar it loose. From my experience he knows what he is talking about, and doing. I like my ecu, and there is no way I will ever pay 500 for another. The ecu looks clean inside. I suppose I can take it out of the car when I get over to the grage, maybe tomorrow. Ill shoot some pics if Jason approves.

that is an irrelevent test. if the parts have been submerged then they have not seen oxygen. for something to corrode or oxidize it needs the presense of oxygen. so yes, eventually e85 will eat your fuel system.

i have heard mixed stories about this. my buddy has a flex fuel ford truck and they use rubber fuel lines and seems like steel hard lines.

so i dont understand if it would corrode and eat the lines why they would install them at the factory.

but to be ultra safe i ordered a methanol fuel kit. it comes with 6an teflon coated stainless steel fuel lines with all nitrile o-rings (methanol safe)

good choice. im pretty sure that the new flex fuel vehicles are running teflon lines as well. although i have not had a chance to verify this for my self. im goin e85 as soon as we get a pump up here in BFE. im sold after hearing the power you are making.
