E85 Bosch Inlet Fuel Sock

Found the insides of my Bosch 044 fuel inlet sock breaking down and letting some of the paper get into the pump inlet. Now switching to E85 and wanted to know what vendor's inlet sock is working well with E85. I recall getting this sock from JayRacing several years ago. Any input is appreciated.

Also thought I would document what the inside of the tank looked like after all these years ... clean as a whistle except for some puddles of what look like an oil water emersion in the bottom low points below the level of the tank drain. It was a bit yellow like milky oil, perhaps from the supplemental 2-stroke I was adding when running the rotary. Smelled like gas, cleaned up easily where I could reach in and clean it with a wand. E85 should dissolve what I could not reach.

The fuel filter downstream of the pump looked good as well.
