Fuel injector testing and cleaning

How often did you flush the fuel system with a tank of just gas? Thinking of running ethanol later this summer and rather not constantly pull injectors to get them

I only ran one tank of gas in 7k miles. The rest was on pump E85. Run a proper filter and it is not a problem as long as the car is used regularly. If the car is going to sit for several months, pickle the fuel system with Gas.

My tuner suggests after a few tanks of e85 to run a tank of pump gas. I think my issue might have been that my car being down for 6 months and then driving it to burn all the e85 out of it to get it ready for tuning purposes. Spooler mentions it in his post.
