E85 compatable efi fuel pump question
I want to run E85 but am having a hard time finding an affordable efi pump. I called Summit tech line and was told I can only use pumps that are gas/alcohol compatable which are pricey. Anyone else running E85 with an electric fuel pump? I like the Aeromotive A1000 series but was told those are gas only.

The in-tank fuel pump for a 93-95 Taurus 3.0 with Flex Fuel is a good candidate. It is 62 gph @ 0 psi (free-flow) and 95 psi @ 0 gph (shutoff). It is Airtex E2072s or AC-Delco EP438. They are $75 from carparts.com. An email from Airtex confirmed that it is a "flex fuel blend" pump despite it's low price.
Another one is the 93 Lumina with 3.1 with Flex Fuel - w/Ethanol (N15) and Methanol (N14). It is Airtex E3298 (AC-Delco EP334). It is Airtex E3298 or Delco EP 334. It is $154 from rockauto or caparts.com. It is 55 gph free-flow and 95 psi shutoff. |

Just to get the information out there concerning running E85. I called the Aeromotive tech line and was told they have many customers running E85 and have yet to have a failure with any of their pumps. Summit/Jegs etc. specify "gas only" when they advertise the various Aeromotive pumps. The tech guy said pure alcohol can cause problems with a pump that isn't a dual use pump but he said the blend of gas/ethanol doesn't hurt their pumps. He also said some guys use a little top end lube in their fuel for insurance and corrosion protection. He recommended the A1000 series pumps for 500-600 HP application.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
