You are making me jealous.

The last time I checked, there was not an E85 station in all of Palm Beach County, let alone anything near my house.

lol, I moved into a new place this month and I went across the street to the closest gas station to fill up the daily drive and I looked over and saw this gem:
Needless to say, I was very pleased. Almost a shame if I don’t switch now…

^ correct, certain shops were given one for testing and feedback, we too were included in this, however there shouldn't be anybody selling them (other than pre-sales), the first release was originally the end of this month but as I previously stated, that date is now the first weeks of February, I then too expect the main release to be pushed back as well but DW can maybe chime in and clear that up

on like the second to last page of this evo forum somebody was questioning the temperatures this pump was tested in because the design of this pump doesn't work well in hot fluids - anybody think this would be a problem in our platform. i suppose that answer may be different in return v non-return setups...but figured it'd be worth asking the experts on here.

Injected is right online.

We were looking at a mid-January release, but we are still looking to have them available within the next 2-3 weeks.

We have sent out almost 100 pre-release pumps to many tuners and dealers over last 2 months. We wanted to get the pump into cars and have some real-world testing to show that the pumps performs well in the real world and not just on paper.

So far, the feedback we have been getting from completed installs has been great.

It’s a thing of beauty, especially at $2.69 a gallon…

Looking into upgrading my fuel system now; boost controller is on its way for now… must get bigger injectors, fuel pump, and RFS now…

the problem with e85 is that you need more of it... so if you were to use it you would just have to fill up more often than you do now. the only benefit is the higher octane, but i think in the end you even out on the fuel costs.

Lots of benefits to e85. More boost more timing. Has cooling affects as it burns. Very forgiving with AFRs..... using 30% more fuel isn't much of negative when you factor in it is almost a buck a gallon cheaper than premium
