Ok than. I've heard that e85 turns into a jelly. Has anyone ever had this happen to them

Ok thanks everyone.

Opened up my filters two weeks ago after sitting around from November with E85 in the tank. These fuel filters were cleaned in July/August last year. This is what came out. Was pretty yuck.

Whole fuel system went in the bin!

Yum

Thats what I was talking about.

That's would be more to do with the low quality alloy used in the surge tank built by brad

Surge tank wasn't made by Brad, mate.

You bought it from uni group, they used Brad, fatz had exactly the same tank and is the only other person I've seen with this issue

I used Unigroup and they had the fabricator across the road make it.

It comes down to the reaction between ethanol and aluminum, which is why companies coat their products on the inside to specifically combat against the reaction.

i had no clue e85 reacts badly to aluminium, albeit poor quality aluminium none the less.

do most just run stainless set ups, or is it just the luck of the draw with aluminium?

Just make sure the surge tank has been anodised properly.

I believe the likes of Aftermarket Industries and Radium both state their tanks are 100% E85 compatible.

I've got several mates (mainly in the EVO game) running these surge tanks with just plain old boring $10 Ryco fuel filters with no issues what so ever.

Then again, like myself they always blend in 98RON when the car will be sitting around for long periods.
