Default Question for those running E85

Hi to all!

Im about to do a flexfuel setup on my S2000 and just have a few questions for those running E85 on their S2000

1.) Did any of you experience any form of debris / rust from your tank when you switched over? Reason being is that I have a few clients all with RX7s that experienced this debris/rusting of their fuel tank when they switched to E85.

My other clients on the other hand, with more modern vehicles have plastic fuel tanks, did not have this type of problem. These are the GT86s and GTRs etc.

Theres also only 1 source of E85 here in our country so fuel quality can be elimanted in the equation

2.) Did any of you experience any rusting / deterioration of the stock hard and rubber lines upon switching?

Many thanks

If you’re concerned about debris, then just get an inline fuel filter installed before the injectors.
