Scott,
You might want to use the stock tank (with sump) for now. Several members have posted that they have been running E85 for several years with stock tank with no trouble. You will need the sump to be sure the pump has a full load of fuel without having to lift it out of the tank.

If you are making serious power, you need to be thinking about a serious fuel system. Fuel lines...look at -10 supply and -8 return lines! Just remember that at any given HP level, E85 will require 15% MORE fuel flow. I would be looking at ~100 lb/hr fuel injectors and Aeromotive Eliminator fuel pump and accompanying FPR and a FP Electronic Controller (keeps the FP from killing itself by cutting back the voltage at idle or other low flow conditions). That is were I'm headed....I like to do something once and be done with it! Remember, you never want to go lean!

Food for thought.

Conrad
