Cycling e-85 / 93

Sludge

I have a good friend that works for AMS and they recommended running a tank of 93 every once in a while to purge some of the E85 sludge on E85 GTR's and Evo's

What sludge,been using it for years.The crap hitting the filters and injectors are from the pump brushes on uncompatible pumps.

That's what I suspect as well.

As someone who cleans injectors, sludge builds up on certain injectors and can even cause them to stop functioning. The frozen injectors are usually ones that run e85 and sit for long periods of time, like between main events, month or more. But this is usually on non stainless steel internals and injectors that have a skirt, kinda like piston, if the fuel was spraying out of where the rod connects. We have a test car and pull the injectors out once every two months to switch them. The build up does not usually affect spray pattern or flow. It tends to build up around the the tip, not over the tip.

Seconded. Paul is the smartest most anal guy I've ever talked to. He hates bs and thinks before he talks.
