nah
I
lost the web page. lawl

anyways
I
was reading how
Expensive Daewoo
changed things to their cars to be able to run e85.

'They have a slightly different head and specially hardened valves'

'There's even a piece of equipment mounted in the fuel tank — very similar to a police breathalyser unit — that can detect how much ethanol is in the fuel and retune the engine's electronics to suit the mix.'

from another site:

Typical damage will involve deterioration of ‘rubber’ fuel system components such as hoses and diaphragms, and corrosion of various metal components. It may also cause problems with fuel tank sender units and electric fuel pumps. However the type and level of damage will depend on the individual vehicle, the level of ethanol compatible components fitted and the age and general condition of the components. This damage may take some time to show up.

As E85 also leans the air / fuel mixture by about 30 percent it is possible engine valves could suffer due to higher combustion temperatures.

fuel for thought ey!
