Super duper fuels, eh?

But significantly less efficient of a fuel then gasoline... nearly 30% worse 
engergy by volume, and delivers 25% worse fuel mileage. You'll need to be 
able to supply about 60% more fuel to the engine, meaning larger injectors 
and on a powerful engine it'll be time to increase the size of the fuel 
lines plus possibly go to a dual fuel pump setup.

Plus it corrodes aluminium and rubber, so you'll nead coatings on your 
pistons and cylinder head and new fuel hoses. Not too friendly on fuel tanks 
and pumps either, and speaking of fuel pumps you'll have to insulate the 
electrical bits since E85 is conductive (gasoline is dielectric of course) 
and could sort the wiring in the tank without proper insulation.
