I wouldn't even remotely entertain the idea of putting more than 10% ethanol in a standard gas motor.
Not true, france has been using 10% ethanol in all cars and trucks for over 5 years. The emergance of fuel injection has had manifold heaters unneeded. As for a vehical "equiped to do so" every ford expolrer has been since 1995. For any fuel injected car not made to use E85, the conversion would simply be reprogramming your ECU.
