Converting the GTX over to E-85
My pumps are methanol compatable but what about the regulators??

Does it require an alcohol type regulator or will the gas ones work for E-85 ???

Gas will work fine.

I have had no issues with any regulator other than the Barry Grant 2 and 4 port gas regulators.

Sorry if this is a hi-jack, but how well does aluminum resist the corrosive effects of E-85? Is stainless the way to go?

The only issue with the E-85 and alum is the water that
the E-85 absorbs... it picks up water easily and carries
it through the whole system.. thats part of the reason
you need to keep it in sealed drum
