If you were asking me. Yes that's an intake runner #4. It's the failed engine I brought up in my post last page.

They put in brand new tanks external tanks at the turnpike station in orlando and I had the gunk build up on my injectors. I have since switched to different injectors and not had an issue. I am now running 93 in my car every 5th tank of e85. So I do not think the old tanks have anything to do with the gunk.

I ran several years on straigh E85 with no issues when I lived in the Tri-Cities. After moving to Portland, it took about a year for my injectors to get gunked up to the point where it was causing cold start issues. Its definitely location dependent and due to something in the fuel.
