E-85 and conversion thoughts

Okay, I did a few searches both here and at the modular engine end of the forums and couldn't find anything on E-85 (trying to keep the search simple normally works best, I have found).


I want to know if using one of the tuners (edge, diablo, etc etc) could allow one to use the E-85 fuels in a vehicle not originally designed for this fuel?

What would any other issues be with this that might crop up?

From my understanding you would need to change all the parts out in the fuel system due to the alcohol in the fuel. And I have read that a conversion kit will not be out for a while due to the engine (non E85 switched to E85) not being able to pass emissions.

The fuel lines are different and so is the fuel pump because of the corrosive nature of E85. also some sensors are also different.
