Well there went that idea !




Thats what i was thinking about , i have an Aeromotive 1:1 i can use. but now it sounds like im goin with a Poly tank. i never knew it would eat aluminum, thats crazy.

Guess it doesnt hang around in the cylinders long enough to cause problems with Alum heads

 

I flush my standalone with distilled water after I am done messing with the nitrous. Prevents corrosion from the methanol.

 

if your saying e85 is corrosive your full of it... e85 doesnt corrode ****. ive been running it for several years now and it hasnt corroded anything in my fuel system. just let me know if you want a pic of any giving part in my fuel system and it will be had for proof. been running it for around 3 years now with all aluminum fuel fittings,aluminum fuel rails and aluminum fuel regulator and they look as good as brand new when i changed it up this last month. methanol on the other hand is a different story but i dont use it so i wont comment on it.

 

I can get 304 or 316 Stainless or some regular old Alum.
Prolly goin with stainless just for the heck of it now.

 

E85 promotes galvanic corrosion. Alone, it isn't too aggressive. But if you put bare aluminum in contact with bare brass in an alcoholic environment like that of ethanol, expect the aluminum to dissolve away. So saying it is corrosive or not given a certain environment is debatable, as there are many types of corrosion.

 

But 316 stainless with stainless fittings.. isnt goin to be corroding any time soon.

 

Would E85 make as much power as using fuel? How do you calculate how much more alcohol you need to burn to make the same amount of horsepower as high octane fuel?

 

general rule of thumb is about 30% more e85, me personally seems a lil more then that in general. but unless your boosted i wouldnt bother switching to it.
