I have heard that you should not run E85 or fuels with substantial ethonol
content is cars not prepared for it, heck there is a warning sticker on those
pumps. So I would think that the rubber in our LBCs designed and formulated
35 plus years ago would not be ethonol tolerant.

ethanol would not be that harmful and the alcohol may help in absorbing some
of the water that condensed in your tank this winter and get some of it out in
combustion.

Right E85 is not good for cars not specifically set up for it.
The possibility of just one tank of the 10% blend is getting lower. More and
more places are getting nothing but the 10% blend. Wouldn't doubt if that
would soon be the only stuff available at your local stations. Like I said
before, we don't get an ehtanol or no ethanol choice here anymore. We only get
the 10% blend, in all octane ratings.
