Hi TC,

You said "Something came to mind when ethanol popped up and maybe the HPFP is causing the ethanol to draw in moisture in to the HPFP as it compresses the fuel and washing the lubrication from the fueling system. It may mean the use of a fuel stabilizer to keep the moister down and all parts well lubricated. It will only get worse when they up the ethanol to 15%."

I pointed out the same process would then wash the extra 2T lubrication from the fuelling system as was the case with the lubrication in the fuel in the first place.
Unless the extra lubrication is enough to overwhelm that process?
