Well I completed the fuel system with the flex sensor and the car is tuned and runs great. I have not put any 93 pump in it yet for a test run, I will next tank.
Are you guys that run mostly flex fuel doing any added maintenance to the fuel system or motor oil? Do you run any additives or specific motor oil? Had a friend tell me he went away from e85 do to oil issues on his race bike. Another said he would get rust in the cylinder walls if his Cobra would sit for a few weeks with out driving.. I'm not sure how he would see it??
Just looking to see If I need to keep up with anything.

I haven't done anything special, though I think if I were going to let it sit for more than a few weeks I'd switch back to gasoline. I usually drive at least once a week. The only issue I've heard about is injectors corroding if they aren't stainless and they sit in E85 for a while without being used. No idea if it's true or not.
If you find anything out that E85 guys SHOULD be doing post back.. I'd be curious to know
