You would have to wire in the fuel sensor..

The rest should plug in...

ah hah! I get the AFR w/meth & w/o meth issue now...Thanks for the explanation.

Now...bottom line, I have a walbro in the tank with rubber fuel injection hose and one inline outside the tank with the same line, stock metal lines/rails....metal tank since it's a '98 and Mototron injectors....so assuming my tune is dead-on, if i fill up with E85....will my rubber fuel lines/pumps/injectors/injector O-rings be eaten up right away? How about if i use it for a year? 5 years? I know the mustang guy claims he hasn't seen any issues with it....anyone else?

I would get a different pump...

To be 100% sure get the pump from a FFV GM...

I just run a SX inline. I't probably do that if I were you and some ss lines which seriously ethanol resistant..

The other issue is the FPR...

I run a SX.. the diaphram can take it..

I have seen stock components last... Its just not a sure thing as parts the are extremely alcohol resistant..

I dont work with METHANOL.. It would eat your injectors not just he o-rings if not flushed out every shut down..

I do use ETHANOL... A big difference.. For example if it was'nt mixed with gas you could make jello shots with it..

Nobody? I'm gonna see how much the E85 is over by me. Sure would be nice to fill up at the pump.

I want to try it but i am still not sure what it will do to my fuel system components...plus being stock lines/rails, i won't have enough fuel to support my power level.
I would love to switch to it though and ditch my methanol kit.
