Anyone replace fuel lines to run e85?
Just wondering if anyone has used this or something similar.
http://www.fuel-it.biz/f-series-235i...grade-options/ Assuming this will allow you to run straight e85, any thoughts? |

I wish it were that easy. Yes those lines are rated to transport E85, but they should be used in conjunction with the E85 rated fuel pumps too.

Why do you want to run straight E85 in your car? Besides the fact that BMW tells you specifically not to, the only benefit of E85 is to raise the octane level, which is of no consequence unless you are running higher boost and timing. E85 gets lousy fuel mileage because it has lower thermal efficiency than gasoline.
