And as far as the corrosiveness issue, a lot of people talk about it, but I've never heard one story fuel system taking a s*** on them. That is not to say it isn't corrosive, but I'm not sure that it has been mainstream long enough to really know the long term effects on someones fuel system...
From Race on E85
"Q: Don’t I have to replace all the “rubber” in my fuel system so it want be eaten up by the alcohol in E85?
A: NO!!! We started out on this journey with a complete gasoline system. We upped the flow 30% to compensate for the lower heat energy output of ethanol and left everything else the same just to see the effects. We switched to E85 at the end of the 2006 racing season and to date we have found zero deterioration or corrosion anywhere in our fuel system. We leave it in the system all the time. We don’t drain anything between races or use any type of fuel lube." |
It maybe main stream and maybe the Z's lucky. Some manufactures though will 100% not have the right fuel lines and seals. Just depends what they wanted to install. Good for nissan if they went with the right stuff. But you still have to make sure the pump and injectors you go with can handle it because not all aftermarket stuff can.
