I have seen people run 044's with e85, but not sure if thats a good idea. I know that the Magnafuel and the Fuel lab pumps are rated to run in e85.

Never messed with a cell. Just hacked up a bucket for a 255 and bolted in some injectors. I was considering running two of those inline 044 or 044 knockoffs , but like I said, just in the planning stages for fuel system .

That magna fuel 4301 looks nice!

We are running twin aeromotive a1000s. We sumped a stock blazer tank. But same concept. Both come out-8 and y into each other with a -10 feed. Looking at running at least the same power levels as you described on e85 also.

Hearing the 044s having issues with e85 makes me doubt about trying it. Are they dying on full e85 or a percentage? was thinking about a 25-30% e85 to 91 pump
