I can't find it right now but if you do some playing around with this website you may come up with the proper coating.

Any updates on this? I am working on my little max effort iron head 340. I will be using a Holley Pro Dominator with dual 1150's on e85. Problem I have is that the odd port design of the intake in the plenum/runner area lead to some holes when I did the porting. Looking to fix with epoxy but not sure what or if it will work. Trying to avoid the expense of welding but may be necessary if I can't find a compatible epoxy.

I'm currently trying epoxy #526n, its two part, available in black, approx $140/pint, requires two post application cures, 2hrs @200F, 2-16hrs @325F. they quote good chemical/temp resistant specs. It is tough stuff.

I can tell you that the Splash Zone on my heads with E85 only lasted about a year before the majority of it came off at the pushrod pinch. It wasn't any better then JB weld was.

I just tried it again, but this time added a top coat of KBS Gold Standard Tank Sealer.

It is supposed to be E85 resistant, so we'll see how this goes....

I tried this with E-85 and normal fuel system parts in jars of it and after 10 years in the jars none of the items ever changed, the fuel didn't hardly change smell yet (a little but not much). I did not try any kind of epoxy but I have a steel fuel line, a 1968 piece of rubber line, some brass fittings, holley power valve thermo-quad plastic chunk and a piece of modern EFI line, nothing changed in 10 years. People say "well if you get water in it then it is corrosive" I never tried putting water in my fuel and I try to keep my fuel tanks sealed.

Just a side note; you can get different results with the same epoxy if the epoxy is close to or past it's expiration date. Stuck in a glove box, tool chest or shop that has high temps will affect the characteristics of the A and or B part of the epoxy. I have not tried the EA934NA but from all my uses with epoxy, if you have a base material like aluminum with aluminum or iron with iron/steel or wood powder with wood the bond is considerably stronger. If the manufacturer makes a similar product as a liquid and then adds aluminum(for example), use the clear to wet the parts that you are trying to assemble. Then use the aluminum based epoxy. Your results will improve greatly. Also, do not mix different brands of epoxy because they are all formulated differently. And finally, a roughed surface bonds better than a smooth surface. When you use a brass tube insert, makes sure it it clean and scuff with 320 grit in random motions. This also goes for repairs to aluminum. You don't need gouges but if you get to see how the epoxy flows and the bonds are created and then sheared you will understand.
