Hey guys i just wanted to post up some information about E85 and winter storage.
As we all know E85-E98 is a great fuel for mustangs and i see more and more guys using it in these 2011-2014 mustangs. I was talking with tony over at ID and i asked him a few questions on storing these cars for winter or if there is anything we should do to make sure our injectors are in tip top shape for spring.
His number 1 suggestion was to DO NOT STORE THE CAR WITH E85 in the tank.
If you are putting the car up for storage you must run some pump gas through the system. E85 and E98 have little to no lubrication (oil) in the fuel. Pump 93 is obviously made from oil so you get the needed lubrication. His suggestion was to pump out as much E85 that you can and put 5-10 gallons on pump in the car. You will want to run the car for at least 10-20 mins.
IF your car has been pulled apart for winter for say a built engine and you can not run pump gas through your injectors. There is another option for you guys.
Basically you will need to power up each injector. DO NOT JUST PUT POWER AND GROUND TO THE INJECTOR FOREVER YOU WILL BURN IT UP.
Basically this is going to be a 2 person job. You will need to power up each injector for no more then 10 seconds. As this injector is powered up you will want to give a good shot of wd40 into the injector and then remove power. you will then want to store the injectors in a clean air tight container like a GOOD ziplock bag or some plastic tupper ware. DO not leave them sitting in an empty intake on your garage floor for the winter.
These injectors do have filters and you want to keep them clean. Its a Must.
Any way guys i wanted to share that info with you guys to make sure everyone is ready to rock for spring time!!
Post up any questions and i will do my best to answer :beer:
