From my understanding there are issues with fuel bowl, metering block and power valve gaskets standing up to the E-85 formula. Exactly what issues are you seeing if any and what gaskets are you using? If you are having issues with gaskets, how long do they last before trouble sets in? I have entered the arena of Holley gaskets and would like to test some out on E-85 and see how they fair against the competition

Greg I dont have any real problems with the non stick (but they dont release like they should but I dont think its the fuel).. might try using a viton coating on them.... I wish the bowls and ALL of the alum parts had a better hard coat... the water carried in the fuel tends to corrode the alum

Well what I've been hearing is the E-85 has been especially troublesome with the gaskets sticking to the components. Also some issues with gasket swell and delamination. This has been from many popular brands of gaskets. I'd like to find someone who runs E-85 to test a set of what I have. Testing so far they work real well with pump gas and race fuel. So good in fact when the bowl is removed the metering block usually falls off to Jeff do you run Ethanol? Are you doing any more racing this year? These are made from the same material as the base gaskets I know what you all mean with them sticking as I've had to beat the bowls & blocks of many times myself I appreciate all the responses
