Yes I wish I could run e85 if there was even one pump here in my town but unfortunately theres not one in site besides one station in Venura which is about an hour away from me. So that doesnt make it easy But ones I get the infinity and flex fuel setup, than thats another story

Flex fuel is the thing right now!

Infinity is bad@$$ my buddy has one in his car!

It's tight, i love it because it's Ve based ecU, has a tons of failsafe, it's a bad ecu.

fuel pressure drops it sets you rev limiter to 4000 rpm lol , etc..you can setup it however you want.

Alright guys what you think about this return line... Broda805 got me a flex return tube off a diesel and I thought this would be awesome if I could get it to work somehow... So went to HD and messed around with a few things and sense this is a metric thread.. None of the random fittings they had would bolt up. So here’s what I did with some good old JB weld.. Let me know what you guys think and if you see any issues with this.. I was fed up with waiting for that tube so decided to make this work instead and get my car back on the road.

cut off the bolt of the flex tube
grounded down the threads on a barbed fitting
pressed it into the flex tube.. super tight fit
and sealed it off with some Steel JB weld
cut the orginal -10 hose and clamped it onto the barb..
DONE?!
