Re: E85?

For those that are worried about possible corrosion with aluminum parts, think of what exactly is aluminum in a stock fuel system. The fuel rail and in the intake port, that's it. A used fuel rail is about $5 and the intake port is getting air and E85 atomized so it's not exactly sitting there corroding anything. Seems like a non-issue to me.

Plus you can search and find plenty of people who have been running this for a long time and have taken the time to remove engine components and basically prove they have not yet seen any issues.
