NA car unlikely on any fuel to go bang. also far less likely to be an issue on E85 due its much higher octane rating and knock resistance. Leanout manily issue with boosted cars and fuel pressure safety is good idea

As previous ive run E85 full time for 8 years stock fuel system no issues no additives added to fuel.

ive tuned countless cars to E85 only, our country we have guaranteed 85% ethanol at pump never varies , maybe out E85 better quality.

Many tuners here tune E85 full time no flex many track cars as well , due to the availability of consistent pump E85 that always 85% lots of boosted cars as well.

the only issues ive seen is people adding additives to E85 which i suspect were for petrol and it caused clogged fuel filters with a jelly like substance.
