[QUOTE="black03, post: 12560842, member: 4037"] Since you just made the swap to E85 than it's completely expected to see a filter element look like that. Regular gasoline leaves residue inside your fuel tank. Just like if you leave gas in a gas can for a long time you'll see a line of scum/residue where the top of the fuel level is. Once you swap to E85 the ethanol breaks down all of that residue and where do you think it ends up? The filter. Since you've been running E85 for a few hundred miles the tank should be clean by now. However I'd check the new filter element in a month just to make sure. Hope that helps. Jared The hose has nothing to do with it as the standard push-lite hose from Fragola is compatible with E85. I've been using the same hose with E85 on our 2010 GT500 for the last few years without any problems whatsoever. Thanks, Jared [/QUOTE]
