There is a concern on my behalf.

I spoke with ATL direct before ordering. And this was the recommend foam for e85.

They have a black alcohol specific foam, and a yellow gas (petrol) foam. And a grey fast-refueling foam aswell.

The yellow petrol foam tolerates the ethanol better than the black alcohol foam tolerates the petrol content in e85. So the recommendayion with e85 is to use the yellow foam. And use the black foam for methanol cars.

I have heard horror stories about foam disintergrating. And the cell has a sticker on it saying to renew the foam every year.

Given the car still has a lonflg build infront of it. I figure i can test it myself l, and see exactly what happens myself.

Thanks burke for a spare liter of the sweet sweet moonshine.
