There have been some comments lately about the effects of ethanol on our cars and in particular carbbed type 4 engines.Zach is switching from carbs to modern fuel injection due to the effects of the E10 on his driveability and I had a problem spring before last where my valves gummed up with a sticky residue and dropped a seat.
My question is do the guys that are running a 9550 cam and Djet notice any effects from the E10 fuel?What is the driveability as opposed to a carbbed engine? |

I'm running a 9550 w/ Djet on SoCal gas, no problem. Your concern will be fuel leaks on pressure lines that aren't changed out regularly and are weakened by ethanol. Or you could run Goodyear 30R9 hose but it isn't sold in metric sizes.

Yes, this is the biggest problem with the ethanol- it ruins the fuel lines. Switch to the 30R9 and it helps... Always check your fuel lines! |
