[big ken sloat]

what all do i need to change to go to e85? other than buying a new carb. will a plastic fuel cell work? push loc fuel lines? and will the foam in the fuel cell have to be removed? anything else? please let me know. ken

the regulator diapham and pump need to be alky safe .but alot of guys have had no problems with it on std stuff. the gas and ethanol arnt near as bad as methanol . the fuel cell and foam are ok . the filter needs to be alky/e-85 safe (eats cheap glue) summit/jegs screen type is cheapest ...... or a gm flex fuel filter for a tahoe and 2 nipples . alot in the carb needs to be converted .if you have a good carb i can swap it over for ya .......$ depend on model and mods . and all alum is fine!
