What kind of fuel system do you currently have?

Have you converted to a return style?

i want to run E85 but due to the 2 closest stations being 30 mins away i dont want to spend the money to convert, if i could do a flex fuel setup that would be the best, that way if im low on gas, i can pump 91 and be fine and when i want to run E85 i have the option to pump it

FT TT with e85 and CJM stage 2 return style fuel system behind 1000cc injectors and 340lph fuel pump. Install happening very...very soon.

My 2 wishes:
-Hopefully Charles can churn these stage 2 kits out soon, as he has about 200000 projects going on(the man is a beast), otherwise I will be happily running a stage 0 until retune.
-Hopefully 340lph can support e85 and ~550hp

Depending on whats going on, I will likely be on uprev, until seb@SZP feels good about tuning me on ECUTEK or sees the need to

Hydrogen burns too fast/hot for the engines used in cars. H2-enrichment has worked well for some hypermilers*. And it's expensive to produce and store. Pure H2 can make a great fuel but not in an "ordinary" car engine.

* The HHO crowd loves it. If you want to do some more reading, search the web for "HHO", "Brown's Gas", &c. Don't believe any of the "free energy" claims but there is a lot of good data on H2-enrichment.
