I haven't let it sit winter for long, but summer/fall I have in my 94 Fleetwood LT1 and have had no ill effects. Some marvel mystery oil can't hurt at all or something similar (lucas has an oil based injector cleaner too). With methanol you have to flush it with gas right away and can't let it sit, but ethanol is not like Methanol at all for the corrosion...
The key more than anything else is to prevent moisture from getting in, that is what truly does the damage, as it separates and rusts... and ethanol cleans...

Does anyone that lives in the colder areas have trouble keeping a full tank of E85 over the winter without driving at all? Do I need to add any additives??
