And rubber fuel lines, which Ethanol breaks down over time.

Very true. Its doesnt take long either. Still dont understand why ford didnt make these flex fuel which would have been awesome!

E85 NA isn't worth the time and money. Boosted is a different story.

I agree with that BLK2012GT.

I run E85 on my boosted 3v and it's like magic gofast potion but n/a might not be worth it. Biggest problem with E85 is availability. I live near a Kroger that sells it but most Krogers don't sell it.

Some bad information in here. Just figure I would clear a few things up. E85 is perfectly fine with the stock lines. It will not degrade the small amount of rubber at all.

You WILL gain with E85. Even if it is only a few HP, the safety margin alone and not being on the verge of detonation is worth it IMO. It was the first mod I did to my car.

With these newer High Compression motors, high octane and good fuel is essential for longevity! Especially once tuned and pushing more timing than the factory has designed it for. E85 is a safeguard against detonation. No #8 failures here!

If yor even close to detonation or experiencing it on 93 then you need a new tuner.

With these high compression motors all it takes is a bad tank of gas which is much easier to get in DFW than you think. Kevin has forgotten more about tuning than you know. When he offers input, you should listen.

just talked to kevin all our fuel lines are metal except for one little rubber section running to the fuel rails...
