Ethanol compatibility of nissan injector seals.

Hi guys, I know this isn't directly connected to Nistune, but as it is compatible with E85 it might be relevant.

Has anyone here had any problems running ethanol rich fuel? I was looking to fit ptfe fuel lines, but wondering if I need to change the injector seals too.

Cheers,
Pete

Maybe that is not good practice, but i'm running E85 over the year without any changes. Well, except china injectors and Z33 MAF. Works very well without any issue on seals, fuel lines, etc...

Any FKM or Vuiton o-ring resists ethanol.
All decent injectors o-rings are FKM material.
OEM FPR is questionnable (body seal will leak after a while), but I switched to VAG FPR with FKM o-rings.
Take Gates fuel injection hose and any E85 compatible fuel pump (resin turbine).

I run E85 since 14 years.
