Did you guys clean them out at all after making the switch? Do you guys ship them in yearly? I heard you shouldn't be able to clog up 120's at all...is there any truth to that? Thanks - Jason
My 120's never saw anything but E85...I pulled them after 2 years to upgrade the fuel rails. They looked just fine, a little bit of "whitening" on the metal I guess from the E85 but nothing else visible. Popped them back in and all was well. I also inspected my rubber -10 line....that looked great too after 2 years so I am still running that as well.
I haven't got my E85 project running yet, but I thought I read somewhere that just running a tank of gas once or twice a year works well. I know I plan of having both chips so I'm not handcuffed when traveling.
Exactly. I have no practical experience with this, just something I read.Are you saying run a tank of 93 to clean out the injectors?
I have seen that on 3 E-85 car I built. I just sent out all three sets of injectors to be cleaned and flowed. 80' 120's and 160's. I cant wait to see the results.I am bumping this thread as it was from a couple years ago and had some good stuff in it. Seeing if any other experiences noticed like I have with mine. I have run 10 or more tanks of E85. I have no goo at the end of the injector. I do have a little goo build up on the stem of valves that I noticed when performing a HG change out. Also noticed that the surface of the ports had a stickiness to them.

I was looking at some lucas E85 fuel treatment. It claims only an ounce needed for 5 gallons at a time. Cost at wally world was 8.79. Maybe worth looking into using.
