Unwanted W*nk Factor

That sucks. I thought you would only do the outside. ... nevermind, lesson learnt.

I tried that first, but it wasnt strong enough. Needed to be soaked

Like I spoke to Josh about on the phone, I have had raw alloy as part of my fuel pump assembly sitting in ethanol for 4 years or so without any corrosion, it's just as clean as the day it went in there. In my opinion is is fine to use the rail with the ano removed. I doubt you would get Proflow to admit it's a good idea though.

Too many misconceptions relating to Methanol imo, ethanol doesn't attack alloy like that, and it also has corrosion inhibitors mixed in from the refinery afaik, just in case some water mixes in with the fuel.

Thanks scotty, I still think ill play it safe and get a new rail off ya. Even if there is a good chance it will be fine (I've taken the rail to work and alumi-prepped it and alodined it) which will protect it even more - but I'm still not 100% sure. Not worth the risk of lunching an $8k motor from a blocked injector for a $180 fuel rail. Oh well lesson learnt!

Cheers
