Does anyone make an E85 fuel system?
Does anyone make an E85 fuel system? I want to change to a fuel cell and external pump and I want it to handle E85. Is there anyone that sells a setup like this? Have any of you done this and have part numbers?
Give Lonnie a call at LPA. He get you taken care of!!!
Ya Walbro pumps are just fine with e85 we have several guys running our systems with E85 we are working on some new stuff hard anodizing all our aluminum parts and such to work better and last longer with corrosive E85. and if you call Lonnie he will set you up with the same exact kit I will as we share alot of parts.

I'm not trying to start bashing people, just giving my opinion on what I've learned and delt with.
Are you still having issues? You can always call us we can help you figure it out. I would like to know what the problems with this stuff are so other customers do not go through it and we can improve our product.

Ok, I found E85 compatable fuel hose from Summit. It is rated at 1000psi and teflon coated.
I am going to replace all mine lines with that. I just changed my tank. I am going to use duel external Walbro pumps. My only thing is the rail. What rail should I use.
I called Lonnies and he was talking about the price would be over $2000. Edit: that was for everything minus the rail. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I don't see why it would cost that much.
So far excluding the rail I have about $550 in it.

A typical anodized aluminum rail will be fine, so will your stock fuel lines or regular Aeroquip braided hose.
E85 is not as brutal as some think, just keep the water out of it by keeping the fuel system sealed. Piece of cake if all the stock evap system is in place.
You do not need a $2,000 fuel rail, that thing better have a vagina for $2k...WTF
That was not for a set of fuel rails. The $2000 budget was a ballpark figure for for a custom tank, external pump, regulator, teflon lines & hard anodized rails/fittings that will withstand the fuel long term.
Please do not quote me unless you give all the information. There is already too much misleading info on the internet.
As for stock lines & tank, they work fine, but any steel parts will be a problem if moisture enters the system. Also a single intank pump will only be good for about 425hp, & the factory lines/regulator will start to be a restriction at around 500rwhp on E85.
As for regular anodized aluminum fittings & rails, they will work, but the anodizing tends to disappear after a year or 2. They should be periodically checked to see if they are OK. I have been working with a few shops that do a lot of E85 setups & it is not too bad, but a few precautions should be followed.
FYI, Walbro pumps are not yet certified for E85, but I have not had a failure to date... so use them at your own risk.

Sorry, didn't mean to mis quote you. I may have just misunderstood you on the phone then.
Thanks for clearing that up. I thought you said that was using the stock tank and if I used the a cell it would be higher.
They seem to be working well as I have approx 20 of them in E85 applications in the US & overseas.
The above is a disclaimer as I want to be up front with my customers, & obviously there is no warranty if used in this application.
As far as power limits, I have 1 turbo application at 750rwhp & a N2O application over 730rwhp with no signs of any flow limitations. Looking for some more real world power numbers from my customers.... Please give me some feedback.
