Default Re: E85 converted SRT-6
I guess we will see, THANK GOD IT'S NOT YOUR CAR. But hey like I said mines covered. From what I have found for everyone person that says its going to hurt the the rubber parts there is one that will says the opposite. I found nothing like a side by side test that shows that any of the parts have been damaged because of E85 over E10, E20 E30 or E50. You can find lip service from people but nothing showing two parts side by side. However I have found tests that show no signs of damage after over 100,000 miles. And this was a side by side comparison.

There has been much endurance testing done on this topic. This has been a big bone of contention between the automakers and the Government agencies pushing for more widespread use of alternative fuels.
