E85?

[Justins72]

Anyone convert there mopar to run E85? I was thinking about doing it since there is a gas station less then a mile from my house. I looked into it awhile ago but there wasn't at the pump to close around. I know I will be needing the carb which im already looking into a conversion. But what else is needed? 1/2 in fuel line, will a mallory comp 140 work? I also read there needs to be a return line, the the stock gas tank have a place to run a return?

The only thing I can tell you is anything in your fuel line that is rubber or plastic will suffer. The float in your sending unit if it is aftermarket...Make sure your carb floats aren't plastic. The hose connected to your sending unit to the solid fuel line. I hope all your lines up front from the solid fuel line aren't rubber. Don't have a clear plastic fuel filter either.

Right I have read about plastic and rubber drying up. Since I have to upgrade the fuel line to 1/2" anyways I will be using -10 AN fuel tubing that is safe with alcohol. Also be converting my mallory comp 140 fuel pump over to the alcohol version. Next question is does anyone make a sending unit that is 1/2" that will work?

I thought about it too, but changed my mind after thinking about road trips, and how you could run into a lack of E85 stations out in the road.

On another note, the E85 "craze" is dying down here.
Not that many stations offer it and the cost has been near that of regular gas.

I thought about lack of stations as well but when I first looked into it there was nothing around here that had E85 now there is 2 thats between 1-6 miles from my house. I do not drive the car on long road trips, just around town or it gets trailered. I would love to see car peoples faces when I pull up and put E85 in the tank.
