looks like those guys are using 100 micron mesh filters. kinda loose.

they are talking about switching to fine paper filters. would be interesting to see if that fixes their issues.
 
Im pretty sure it's an additive that is area specific. An easy way around it is to simply run a quarter tank of gasoline through the car every once in a while.
 
FYI ive heard threw the grapevines the mix of e85 has some pretty chitty pump gas that they mix,.. Ive heard alot of it is gas that isnt as refined etc.. just 85% ethanol makes the difference in the octane. But Chuck That link you posted could be a few other things, maybe his fuel cell is dirty and it knocked some junk into the fuel. He could possibly have a cell with foam and the alcohol is breaking down the foam? It could also be a bad batch of fuel, thats one disadvantage i never liked from e85 its pump gas and varies from pump to pump.. Wish i could try some e98 around here, but none of that yet.
 
Pure speculation either way outside of the substance being a containment, only way to tell would be an analysis of the particles, but it sure looks like rubber that was slowly eroded after being exposed to E85.

The rubber fuel lines will erode if the car sit for prolonged time. E85 will separate the water to alcohol content also after prolonged sitting (as well as any full). Now the alcohol becomes a drying agent and then causes the lines to rot. E85 is a cleaning agent; cleans carbon of valves, pistons. Plus plugs run white as new!
