The lines will not hold up over time. The ethanol will eat the lining.

I talk to Truestreet and I don't have to upgrade my fuel lines. All I need is injectors and a tune.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

If your going to upgrade I know Shaun recommends ID injectors for the quality and the ease of tuning. My car on ID1000s idles and drives just like stock.


6, I dont plan on running E85 long term as of now, I may drive on it for the next month but I am going to be driving to gulfport MS for school in Jan so I dont want to try and drive that far on E85. Ill keep the tuner with me in case i do want to hit the track up on the E. Come may my car is going to be parked and driven maybe once a week for a year.

All current production vehicles are good to go tank and line wise due to the requirement to be able to run E10.

Long term with E10 yes but not long term with E85 is what I was told. The first thing Ford Racing and the Ford engineering dept told me after working with them on the development of my car was to change the lines if I was running E85 long term. As a supplement race fuel for the track it wont hurt but if its sitting in the lines they told me it will damage them. I also know of alot of guys running E85 in stock lines with no issues. So this is a personal call to me. True Street made custom stainless braided lines for my car to work with the new fuel system so I never tested it. It also could have been Ford just covering their ass on working with me for developing my goals.
