Default Aeromotive A1000 with Ethanol???

Hi All, i'd like to know if the A1000 is designed to work with Ethanol.

Anyone know any other FuelPump that runs a 400whp(on ethanol) b16? The detail of ethanol is very important because it's more corrosive, sorry for my bad english.

Very Thanks!

Methanol is corrosive. Ethanol is not.

Sorry, i'd like to meant Methanol.

So, are they made to run on methanol without any problems?

Thanks!

the A1000 is a beastly pump.. its probably overkill for your application

alot of the FI V8 guys run that pump.. so you know it can flow

With Meth you need twice the flow of gasoline for any given power level. At 400 WHP he's coming close to the upper limits of flow that one A1000 could support on meth. Unfortunately I don't think the A1000 is built to run methanol, so you're gonna have to find another pump.

Weldons are good electric pumps for methanol.
