rlm2	posted 04-07-2011 02:25 PM ET (US)         Does anybody have any experience with this engine? How reliable? I found one used with low hours. Model #E175FPXS00

The fuel pressure test port in that picture has a gray colored cap on it. If you take the cap off, it looks like a Schraeder tire pressure valve. In the presence of E10, the joint between the brass valve and the plastic tee often fail. Replacement is not a big fix.
