I doubt if it will John. 10% ethanol isn't going to mess up anything. But going over that might. E-85 is a mess on rubber hoses and fuel related gaskets. Plus, the idea of getting a carbureted engine to run in it is a feat in itself..,

That's my worry. So far I've not seen any of that around here either.

My only experience with it was in the Dakotas and I was convinced it
