I have read and heard on TV/Radio numerous times that E85 will eat seals and gaskets on vehicles not designed to run on it. I have no first hand experience of this but I won't run it in any of my vehicles.

Unless that vehicle is made as a flexfuel vehicle E85 fuel is not compatible and will damage the fuel system. E85 is corrosive and the fuel system must have all compatible parts plus the computer for flexfuel can detect the alcohol percentage and set the fuel injector pulse accordingly.
