welcome to Jersey Y'all

Jersey has been using Ethanol for years. Not in an 85% concentration that you speak of but the direct opposite, a 15% ethanol with 85% gasoline. Now this is not all stations in Jersey but many to say the least. With that said, I have been running all of my SVXi on Jersey pump gas since day one with no fuel related issues involving the use of Ethanol... SO with a higher concentration it will be more volitile but at the same time, I do not forsee it doing any real damage to your fuel systems. A suggestion that should be heard is that before you start just using Ethanol, throughly clean your fuel system and have your inkectors clean professionally, this will eliminate the possibility that any elements left in your system that "could" react with the E85 will more or less be gone and not a risk. Mike knows what he is doing and is not just guessing, give a listen before you are so quick to disagree. Like so many have said and will continue to say, this is my opinion and only an opinion
