Pro and Cons of E85

I have 3 cars running e85....only thing i changed on car from gas to e85 was the carb..bought new QFT 950-E85....change fuel filter from paper cartridge to screen...using the same rubber line steel braided line...for 4 years now.....

no return line...run the same old chinese holley black 140 gph fuel pump...paid 50 bucks off ebay.....

engine runs cool...especially out here in Vegas...dont drain lines between races..I do drain over the winter shut down...

buy the fuel from the same station...checked it alot at the beginning never varied more then a couple of percent..

on Friday bought 22 gallons at 1.85.. 41 dollars....pump next to it had racing gas 8 dollar a gallon ...22 x 8 176 dollars...saved 135 bucks...

This is obviously another way to go about using E85 that differs from what I do or have as far as equipment. I had forgot that Tony runs his cars on E85 as well.

I would not be scared to use his set up advice at all, as he has proven helpful to many people here, before.

I was told from the start to treat the entire system like it was going to be run on methanol, so thats why I have the return line and bypass regulator. Tony's way obviously works as well.
