Not much information form my end Porsche related directly, but I know that any part of the fuel system that contains rubber components is subject to deterioration from the E85. Things like fuel lines, o-rings, gaskets, etc that are in direct contact with the raw fuel. Once burnt everything is supposed to be fine from there on out.
I'm not sure if Viton(o-rings) are affected by this or not?????
One other thing I've head is that you should put an additional fuel filter inline before the injection system(or CIS if that's the case) as E85 tends to REALLY clean and flush out the entire fuel system the first few tank fulls. After that the filter can be discarded if need be.
Just stuff I've read/heard as I'm thinking of running this stuff in my DD/beater as soon as a pump is locally available.....
i know there are a few guys in the area running E85 in their turbo cars. Some are Evos, some of those little dodge SRT4 neon things, etc, etc. No problems that I've heard of so far.
