Parts Needed To Convert To E85

[ARTZ]

Can always use the standard return as a feed and run an extra return line.

044's are rated at 500 working hours on E85.... Or so they say in the box. That's a bloody long time if it's a weekend car.

500hrs!! seriously that is shit....what if its a daily you could potentially be buying pumps every 6 months...no thanks... Even walbros are lasting longer than that...

why do people insist on running and recomending such ancient technology when the market is being updated regularly with newer, better products.......

Depends how you use your car.

Who knows how accurate that is. That might be a "disclaimer" just to cover their asses.

I'm running 3 044's. 1 in tank and 2 feed. Late last year I had my primary feed pump start to die after 4 years. I noticed as I would start coming on my fuel pressure would drop. Swapped pumps around and problem went away. Maybe the sitting around for 10 months when I popped my engine played a part?

Either way, they're cheap enough.

If this is the case, then logic should be to run the 2 Hicas lines for fuel feed and the old fuel line and return as the return lines for 600Kw with twin Walbos?

Sounds line enough line flow with safety margin?

Just looking in the engine bay with the engine out, those Hicas lines look about the size of the main fuel feed single line but theres 2 of them and ive got a Hicas lock bar in now.

For that kind of power I would look at a Fuelab pump or similar, with variable speed from a PWM ecu output, then run a new -8an teflon line to the aftermarket rail/reg, and use the stock feed for return.
