e85 tune. change rubber parts?

[asphalt_fr-s]

If i were to get an e85 tune via brzedit fairly stock car, just a berk muffler delete. What do i need to change out to safely run E85? Ive heard it can eat rubber seals and cause problems down the line. I need my car to be a reliable dd. Sorry if this info is somewhere, but i couldn't find it for the life of me. Thanks for any help.

If you wanna be really safe, paper filter in saddle tank. Replace it with a e85 compatible metal fuel filter. Modification needed for install.

brz is fine, but for N/A cars pretty pointless. Imo a OFT fits your needs best.

As for mods required. None is the answer.

We don't know the long long years down the track effects but there has been no major problems reported so far and some people have been running e85 for a while.

Personally iv'e only been running it for 4000km, haven't had a problem.

I've got 42,000 miles now, and more than half are on E85. I've also gone boosted for the last 2000. I did nothing to the stock fuel system pre-boost. What I do do is run Pump gas occasionally to make sure everything is lubricated, but that's one in every 5 tanks or so.
