You're using the E85 in a flex fuel car right? You can't just use it in any car, it will destroy seals, cause leaks, and possibly start a fire.

No problems at all or no problems that you would attribute to using E85? I dont not know the specifics as to how long the seal deterioration will take ,but I do know that it is a fact that running e85 in an engine that is not originally designed for it will eventually wreck havoc on the various fuel system seals and related accessories.

Hey Mr.Johnson,

How many mile to the gallon do you get with the E85 compared to regular gasoline?

X2 e85 won't have immediate affects but it will cause failures in the delivery system with seal leaks hoses getting spongy etc etc
