    I'm about to buy these injectors and do the swap myself... http://www.injectordynamics.com/ID2000.html. I'll buy E85 or E98 buy the drum to ensure the purity... Most stations say E85 but it's really E68-E78. I fill up by the drum as it is now lol, it's not that bad when the gas smells sooooo gooood!

    Because of the fact that e85 actually fluctuates in methonal content like it does, is because the government doesn't have it regulated as it does with regular pump gas. That combined with the extreme difference of mixture percentage depending on the time of year make it fairly unpredictable. You can bring a methonal content testing strp with you every time you fill up, and tune accordingly. Or, you can run one safe tune which will be around.70 lambda. It will run rich with some mixtures, and just right with others. Race fuel companies regulate their e85 very well, and are always consistent. Buying drums from them is highly recommended. A 105 octane rating, and a 15% power gain just by switching from pump to e85 is very worth it. Plus, combustion chamber temps reduce significantly. E85 simply has way more pros, than cons.

    Wher are you going to get drums of e85 & e98? Just wondering. I am still doing the reading up on this. So nothing else is needed other than more fuel supply. ie. meaning needs bigger pump, more injector, and larger hoses. Correct?

    When you buy everything make damn sure it's alcohol compatible. It will eat through anything not meant to handle it.

    At the fuel getting place lol, J/K... no my fuel guy... Sunoco is what I've been using. Just gotta think of it like this... You need 30% more on average in all of the following: Fuel pump/fuel flow, injector, fuel in the tune... so make sure you go up more than 30% on your pump, flow, and injector to have room to grow... and by flow I mean volume not pressure

    Kurt (and anyone else), after a metric ton of reading about it. I am guessing that this set up will work. I want to run the magnafuel 4301 pump with #10 line with filter in front and after the pump. I don't know if at the rails it needs to "y" or in one rail crossover then the FPR and return #8 to the tank. Also I haven't read much as far as the tuning. Is it harder to tune on it or follow the same protocol?

    I dont think there's much more to the tuning, add fuel and timing.

    I noticed know one said using a E85 kit, like white lighting sells. Are they no good? I want to make my truck run E85. Cant you get by with just bigger injectors and tune? I got E85 pumps everywhere not a problem there. I had a old 91 ranger with a 2.9 i ran E85 in it I didnt do anything to it ran for years with it. People use E85 to pass emissons and pass with out a cat even.
