Thread: Using AFR 195's with dome pistons......

No hijack isses here.....its still all related to compression ratios and street use.....I would consider using the E85, but the PIA of flushing and worrying about corrosion or rubber line issues (I use braided, but its still rubber)....I dont know if there is a true alchohol additive to help prevent. I will drive the car at least once or more a week, but still, just saying.............

well i can tell you about a company that makes and sells hose/ hose ends. he wanted a dealer every sound good till i asked about his hose holding up to alcholol he told me long as it did not sit in the hose for a long time it should be oK ????? HMMM well no thanks

lmao, yeah, in other words, its not compatible for the high alchohol content of the E85 or similar. I wonder if the conditioner that the big boys use for methanol and nitro (like an oil) would help with this. Also, someone mentioned a separate tank with a small amount of regular fuel to be able to shut off the alchohol, open the regular stuff, run it through to help flush, then let it sit from there. Alot of extra stuff for the car, but doable I suppose.

i would not trust just not any hose out there if aeroquip or goodrige has it that will hold up i use there hose as there is alot of inport stuff out there it can not take it

hmmm....im using Russel and some Aeroquip just because i had it around from a previous project...hell i dont know how to predict the import stuff anymore, except for larger hard parts (axles, trannies, gears, cranks, heads, etc.)
