With the new fuel growing in popularity, the effect of e85 on internal engine parts should be a area of concern.
Recently I took apart a 109 that has been on e85 only 1 season. What I found inside was orange tinted cylinder walls, white snots in crankcase and severely pitted turbo exhaust housing. The stuff is evil.
Anyone parking a e85 car for the winter should consider flushing out fuel system and running a good amount of 93oct through the motor before putting away.
