 |
|
| Anybody know if Walbro's electric intank fuel pumps are long term compatible with e85? The model I'm specifically looking at is GSC404. Any guidance you're able to offer is welcome. |

They don't recommend it, but I have put nearly 2 years on my 344 model on high ethanol blends, with about 1 year of that at 100% E85.
So far no signs of issues.

| Thanks for the reply Larry, thats a big help. Could you ballpark what the high ethanol blends were? Maybe e40? e50? Also, if you could give a rough estimate of the miles traveled in these time periods, that would be an enormous help. |

Last time I tallied it up, I'd put about 500 gallons of E85 through the tank, thats about 40 fillups or around 9000 miles. Nearly 1 year of that was at 100% - 90%(cold weather) E85 blends exclusively.
