Holy crap man :uh oh:
+1You're thinking clogged injectors causes a drop in fuel pressure?
I posted a thread like this awhile ago...
My car came from California and has been on e85 for two years with no issues.
I got the car here in MO, filled it up a few times and started having all kinds of problems with my fuel pressure drop. Filter was clogged to hell, replaced it, now my pressure is still dropping, I am thinking this shit got into my injectors. I know for a fact that it isn't a fuel component related problem, have to be our shitty gas stations here.
Going to pull them off and have them cleaned and see how they look.
I read a bunch of threads on evo and talon forums (with horrible pictures) of clogged injectors that look like they have 3 inches of sticky tar on tips of them...
The only problem with the 40 micron is that it will only filter out particles down to 40.I went through your pain last week on the dyno.. Fuel pressure drop with new pumps. Took my filter out ( page 2) looked and was clogged as hell. Replaced it with same one but im waiting for a 40 micron stainless I ordered today to jump on dyno next week
The only problem with the 40 micron is that it will only filter out particles down to 40.
The 10 micron will filter out particles 4 times as small!
Like I said, it's easier to change filters than injectors!
So your going to pull out all your injectors and filter and clean both? :dw:Yea but you can also clean stainless easier right? Brake cleaner and call it a day?
My fore filter looks the same. Injectors are clogged.
What fuel system do u have?
Black deposits on the filter element are brush material from the pumps. I have done multiple E85 systems and the only time I see filters with black deposits is when there is a dead or dying pump.
How can you check the e85 itself to see if it's the gas station?
