Do the paper/cellulose element fuel filters break down with E85 fuel?
Right now I just have a 100 micron filter before the fuel pump.
I'm looking to put a 10 or 40 micron filter after it but every filter I'm finding has a paper element.

Here is how my fuel system is laid out. Let me know if you see an issue with running E85.

20 gal Aluminum sumped fuel cell ---> 100 micron metal filter ---> A1000 fuel pump ---> AEI-13204 fuel pressure regulator ---> -6AN to carb and a -10AN return to tank.

All lines are -6AN, -10AN braided or -10AN aluminum hard line.


Also have you or anyone else had experience with Percy's adjust a jet plates?
This should allow me to swap between 91 octane and E85 pretty easily.
I haven't seen or heard of anyone using these so it makes me a little hesitant since they are $85 a piece and I will need 2

Never mind. I found a document that made me aware of a corrosion and aluminum.
