[QUOTE="JohnsDSGVert, post: 12626650, member: 10219"] [b]Walbro 262/405's and E85[/b] Spoke with Bill Klinkman, Engineering Manager with TIAuto today and he affirmed that if you used the 262/405 that it would flow E85 at about 50% life or 5000 hours. At an average of 50 miles per hour that is 250,000 miles. I told him I average 1,000 - 2,000 miles per year. He said I would be fine. The difference is in 262/405 and the 26/465 is the coatings on the brushes and internals. According to Justin at Fore, these short mileage failures are not a result of E85, but some other factor such as install or something else. After listening to Justin and Bill, I am proceeding with my fuel system build with twin 262/405's, Fore Hat and Regulator / fittings, and Stainless covered PFTE hose from Fore. I will run E85 as my tuner and fuel system advisors recommend. If I only get 10% of the estimated 50% life from my pumps, I will be good for 12 years. [/QUOTE]
