Like just add a gallon, or run a tank through it?
I always fill up with a full tank, swap the tune over to pump gas.
And drive it that way until shes parked.

Then after coming out of being parked either drain that tank, or run it out.
Swap back to the "E"

Do you have to have the ID1300's cleaned? Does this require sending them out to ID? Or just run fuel injector cleaner through them? Any tips on how to clean/flow test?
I have my ID's cleaned locally at a speed shop that cleans their ID's after every race event. (they run M1 in their car, and have (12) 2,000cc injectors on board, so they are VERY picky about making sure everything is flowing correctly.)

Brand of injector has nothing to do with the fuel gelling up, making the majic "crust" every now and then, and all the other funky stuff "pump" e85 can do.

For those that say they have "never seen issues" have been lucky. LOL.
In the 12+ years I have been running it, I have seen it all. LOL.

But does it scare me?....,Nope not a single bit.

I work on fleet trucks and cars that run on e85 and believe me it causes problems,thats why i said i would never leave it in my tank for 30 days.I have seen pumps/filters/and injectors fail from long periods of e85 left sitting.I tested injectors that did not even have a spay pattern left lol,50 psi pressure and a drop of fuel would fall out.The deposits that e85 leave are like hard calcium deposits.

Glad someone else agrees with me.

I have literally been flammed on the internet for telling people these warnings. Even locally I get the "well I have never had a problem, you are crazy" talks. LOL.
