Makes sense given your tune. Funny thing is when E85 came out, lotta dudes were saying their tear downs were SUPER CLEAN and had pictures and all.

My car sat for about six months with a tank of e85 in it while I was doing my blower conversion. I then drove it to drain the tank so I could put some 91 in it for my new tune. That tank of e85 might have gone bad. I'm not sure though.

That was your down fall. Sitting with E85 in the tank is not good. Mine sat for a while hence why I had the tank drained and the injectors cleaned just to be safe. I didn't want to damage a brand new engine. The fuel filter keep all the junk out.

And my car's sitting with e85 in it again. I'll make sure Seb has it drained and flushed if necessary. I'm definitely buying the Injector Dynamics filter you recommend

They are very clean. I have my old pistons and rods.
