If your sure it's a true E85, you should be fine...make sure you have a good pump, and proper fuel line size to accommodate the need for more volume.

Look into water/meth injection with premium pump junk up

E85 is a great fuel. If its readily available around you I would not hesitate. Get a fuel tester to check consistentsie.

I'd opt for corn. I really love it for a fuel. Even cost excluded, corn makes more power than pump, runs cool, and no where near as bad to breathe.

Cheaper
faster
safer
cooling


All those benefits for a very small amount of carb corrosion. I have E85 carbs that are 15 years old that work as good as the day they were made.
