E85 safe with Walboro 400 pumps?

[RussZTT]

Not sure where the best place to ask this. I had bought twin Walboro 400 pumps from Lethal few years ago, they told me it was fine for E85. Now they're telling me E85 will not work with these pumps. Any of you guys run these pumps on E85?

I have the even older Walbro GSS342 255lph pumps from 4.5 years ago before E85 was even really popular. They were never designed for it, and have worked flawlessly in my tank for years with nothing but corn ever run through them.

You're going to hear people say they are fine, you will hear others say they are not. I guess it just depends on how long you let the car sit with a tank of Ethanol in it.

TI Automotive is who makes the pump and they say it is NOT compatible.

Ugh, pisses me of. Lethal told me they're compatible when I bought the kit and now they're not.

 

[gaspasr]

Been through this before. They are not compatible.

I'm a bit nervous running the gss342's even though many have done it successfully. I've got aem 320E's going in.

465s or whichever aems are rated for it and be done.

Exactly. Seems to be a step up from what I have now.
