Re: E85 fuel
if there is any steel it will rust and rubber will rot. e85 your line should be stainless and the rubber should be made to handle the alcohol

Re: E85 fuel
No. Unless your engine was designed for E85 don't even think about using it. It'll F*** it up.
E85 isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway. My Explorer is designed for FlexFuel. When I first got it I was excited about the lower cost of E85 but with lower MPG that you really don't save any money.
