E85 Help
ok so i ordered the evo 9 fuel filter bc i know it is e85 capable. my question is this, i know i need to replace the fuel lines in the tank bc they get gunky. Im gonna get fuel tubing at pep boys that is e85 capable. What suze in diameter and how much length do i need. Also bc i took the stock fuel pump that means i am only running the sock filter, right? Will the evo 9 filter be enough or do i need to add a second filter.

your referring to your sock as the filter, I was referring to your sock too that you were referring to as a filter the sock or as you call it filter can be replaced with a kit for $10 like I said
Regarding the lines, so what if I didnt hear anything about them. I dint say anything else regarding the lines
at the end I guided you to the correct direction ASK YOUR TUNER!
your dumb coomment was uncalled for

Ok people there are two filters. Jeez. The sock filter and the paper element on the stock fuel pump. Holy ****. You take the stock pump out, bye bye paper filter (ie) not sock. You put the sock back on walbro. two minus one equals 1, which means you have one les s fuel filter. I bought the evo 9 sock filter bc it is e85 capable. Now I was asking what kinda of fuel filter should I get and what kinda lines. You have to add a second filter in the engine bay. I was asking what kind and if thats correct. So obcioudly you dont know what your talking about. And if you have e85 its not set upr right.

Here ya go Fuel pump sock filter. The X stock sock isn't great for E85. The 8/9 sock is apparently better.
Fuel filter. The X's stock fuel filter is in the stock fuel pump (which you'll be tossing). You cannot use a generic fuel filter. It should be stainless steel or anodized aluminum. It cannot use a paper element (E85 is hydroscopic, it gather water -- water + paper = clogged injectors). Ultimate Racing has a kit that has the special fuel line connectors for attaching to the fuel rail. There has been a report of it deforming under high pressure. Most alcohol compatible filters have AN- fittings. I found two that use a normal barb fitting. Jegs carries one. Jay Racing carries a Golan unit. The Golan unit appears to flow better and filter better (it's what I bought). A cleanable one is better than one you throw away since you're going to need to clean it out about 500-1000 miles after conversion (E85 will loosen up the crud in your fuel system and the filter should catch it).
Fuel Filter lines. Plan ahead here. The lines onto the fuel rail are hard plastic lines and putting the fuel filter into these lines is a pain. They use a 5/16" fuel line connector. You can find 5/16" to 3/8" connectors/hard lines at Autozone or Oreilly, but they aren't cheap ($20-25 each). Then connect the included barb fitting (it's a heat shrink fitting) to a piece of fuel hose to connect to the fuel filter and then the same on the other end to the hard fuel line coming from the tank. **Update** You can buy these to build your own line: http://www.midwayautosupply.com/pm-4...t-800-084.aspx
