Looks like the "corn starch" I see in some injs I clean...
That E85 must be a very low quality, to have that much ash left behind.
Do you have another station you can go to?

 

[bpman1234]

yes just alittle further down the rd this gas is from marathon .the one little further down is moble or texico not sure.

Next step... Cut the fuel filter open, and see what's there. If this crud is just the result of combustion, the filter may be clean... If it's cruddy, we need to look at:
A. The in tank pump sock.
B. The inj filter baskets. I've seen some injs w/ that crud piled up around the top o'ring.
Are all 6 plugs this way? I can see only a part of the plug number. What are they?

That almost looks like oil that's being "bleached out" w/ alky! Look at the color of the crud at the base of the ground straps. Is the engine using oil?

Don't think I'd be driving it, until the issue is resolved. At present, there's no way to read those plugs for timing and afr.

Looks to me like there's some oil burning.

Does it smoke when at a warm idle say at traffic lights? They look badly oiled to me on the threaded base. That's my main concern.

Fresh or old engine?
