E85?

Has anyone converted a 928 to run on E85?

There's a thread over on the Off-Topic section where people discuss converting Porsches to run on this stuff. Apparently the octane is 100+, and it is about $1 per gallon cheaper than typical 93 octane dinosaur juice!

[true, you do burn a hell of a lot more E85 than gasoline so the price difference per mile is probably negligible, but the octane could come in handy. It was 98 degrees in Fort Lauderdale today....]

DMRK goes on to state that all he had to do to run this in his 944 was increase his fuel pressure. I'm not sure how the injectors are mounted on a 944, but on my 928S2 there is a short section of rubber hose that connects the rails to the injector nipple. Ethanol proof? I wonder.

N?
