These are not myths like stated in this thread, ethanol could clean some GN owners dirty, rusted tank and create a possible issue. Don't see the point in saying changing fuel filters is a myth when Ethanol will do exactly what I stated.

bsdlinux, I take it your vague post means you've yet to drop your tank and check your fuel filter since running it on E85 correct? Hard to be a Mythbuster when you have NO proof yourself to bust them with. All this myth busting so you can say you run the car stock on E85 to board members.
Dr. Boost, I agree that when you first start useing e85 you should change the filter soon and often until you're confindent that you're not clogging up things. The intank pick up sock could clog rather easily. I have a external pump and don't use a pickup sock. I like to prefilter any fuel that i put in from 5 gal cans. Coffee filters in the funnel seam to work for this. I changed my filter last week cut it open and couldn't find any crud in there. Bought new set of plugs to install. Old plugs had light white color to them gaps still good.Reinstalled old plugs . Don't need new plugs yet.My car seams to prefer a 70% blend so i'm doing a 4 gal e85 & 1 gal 93 mix before i put in tne tank.By my math that should be close to a 70% blend.I'm useing a tt 93 chip and e85 in the spray also.I allso have a tt 108 chip that i've yet to try with e85.I know i'm not supposed to run e85 with 42 lb injecters but i think if i spray e85 too i should be ok up to 24/25lbs. Want do you think?
