E85 winter preparation I’m from south west Pennsylvania is winter is approaching fast and the track is canceling test and tunes every week.This is my first winter with an e85 fuel system. So my set up is as follows: 68 Camaro with a stock tank and an aeromotive sump, Magnafuel 750 pump, ptfe lines, into a Holley intake/ rails with 210 injectors. I have a gold box ecu with a flex fuel sensor. My plan was to drain all the ethanol out and put pump gas in the system. I don’t plan on up grading anything over winter so I will start it on there nice days. Anything else I need to do? Also planned on just getting the injectors cleaned in the spring. Thanks for any help
Last winter was long and brutal here. First thing in the spring my post pump Magnafuel fuel filter plugged. After I cleaned the filter I didn’t experience any other issues.
switch it over to pump 93, add some ethanol fuel stabilizer, turn the boost down and keep brappin

I guess I was on the right track lol... just had a few guys around here have issues with winter storage but not sure what their set up consists of. I have ran pump and race gas for a few years with out issues with winter storage.

I usually put fuel stabilizer in it and just make sure to start it up once a week for a few mins to move the fuel around in the lines and rails.
Last winter I let it sit for probably 3.5 months without touching it and never had any issues. Using cheap push lock fuel lines too.
