2.0L Fuel linings for e85 tuned LX

[cxrtesz]

I’m running a 85/15 ratio of 91-e85, I understand that the fuel pump and fuel linings aren’t rated for ethanol contents like that. I’ve already seen a after market fuel pump I can add to solve that, but besides that there’s fuel linings, from my understanding there aren’t any aftermarket ones (because who’s tuning a k20c2 cvt obv besides me) so my options are to get a shop to help me with a custom job or replace the oem ones after they start fading too much or around 80k miles? Basically keeping an eye on them then switching them it for another. Are there any other things I’m unaware of? I think the injectors should be fine since it’s not a crazy amount of e85 so what do yall think?

I think either 27won or PRL wrote an article about this, the factory fuel lines are in fact rated for e85, the injectors and pumps however aren't. I think it's something like a 12 gallon tank can take a maximum of 3 gallons of e85 before you get problems.

From someone who's had a full bolt on and heavily modified c2, I highly suggest you don't push the CVT. You're guaranteed to experience slipping if you go even a little over 200whp. Most never really get there though since cost/performance is terrible with the transmission limit.

Not planning on pushing it farther than my PRL hvi and stage 2 phearable tune, so I should be under 200hp, thanks for the info!
