[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16525963, member: 70025"] Thank you both for your very insightful points of view. [LIST] [*]Bob, thank you for the phone call last night. You made valid points that will help me in my decision. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]geoffmt, thank you for that information. Bob mentioned some of that during our phone chat. However, I did not think about the fuel line size. [/LIST] I have NEVER thought about running e85 on my 65. Therefore, I never planned for it or researched the requirements. After I heard about the PTFE hose I had a knee jerk reaction and thought it was a GREAT idea. There are a lot of pros for running PTFE hose on a fuel system and I liked what I read (little to no deterioration, no smell/fumes), so I decided to go with it. HOWEVER, after talking to Bob and reading your post geoffmt and watching YouTube videos last night, I have decided "NOT" to run e85. I already purchased my fuel tank and planned to run -6AN line (so, my set up is too small to efficiently run e85 at higher power levels). I purchased CPE fuel line AND the AN fittings to go with it (I cannot use e85 with those parts). PTFE hose uses a different style hose fitting and they are WAY more expensive than AN fittings. In an e85 set up you have to run a fuel filter with a steel mesh. You cannot run a paper or cellulous style filter. Therefore, since I have already started down the road to building my current fuel system I'm going to stick with it. [USER=60644]@Grabber70Mach[/USER] I greatly appreciate you mentioning the PTFE hose. That recommendation allowed me to thoroughly review my current set up and consider the idea of e85. After looking at everything I was able to come to this decision. Now I don't have to think later "I should have upgraded everything for e85."

Sorry for the long post, but wanted to write everything, so people know why I made this decision and also so others looking to run e85 have a better understanding of what it entails. [/QUOTE]
