Running E85 on older model engines without tuning and replacing some components will ruin the engine in short time.

Do you need a fuel filter for E85?
If you do not already have an upgraded fuel pump or a boost-a-pump on your car, one will need to be installed. E85 also has a cleansing effect on fuel systems that have been running regular gasoline, so it would be a good idea to replace your inline fuel filter before the first tank of E85, and again after another couple tanks.
