[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 16455491, member: 76381"] Ten years ago before I ran E85, I was petrified of all the negative stuff being posted. I researched the hell out of it across the net and on different car platforms. One of the leading user groups was the mitsubishi evo owners. The only negative I ever found from those forums was a couple owners with ID1000s posted pics of their injectors pulled and they had a strange tar like substance on the spray tip. Others had the same ID inj and they were clean. So, people started guessing what was going on. The 2 posters with the tar tips said their E85 station source was using pumps that were previously used for diesel. Hmmm. Not a purely brand new infrastructure for ethanol only. So, maybe tanks/pumps previously used for diesel are a big no-no to retrofit for ethanol use. If possible, make sure your ethanol source is using brand new infrastructure. [/QUOTE]
