Tonight I decided to open her back up and make a slight improvement on my LPFP install. I never really liked the idea of the pump floating around in the tank. @SteveAZ was kind enough to send me a pump retention mount to solve that problem. Thanks Steve!
I remember reading a thread where a member reported deteriorating butt splice connectors causing problems with his pump. Reading his post made me worry about how things were holding up in my tank. I was surprised to see that after approximately 5 months of high mixtures of Ethanol everything in my install looked great with no signs of deterioration! With my luck I thought for sure this thing was on the border of failure.
Props to my buddy @fastgti69 for helping me with this install.

One thing I did notice was the amount of crap floating around in my bucket! I've heard of E85 being "dirty" but damn this seems excessive to me. Could this be isolated to the gas station where I get my Ethanol? Is ethanol really this dirty? Any one else notice this?
