Just for clarification if your running pump ,E85, that's not always E85. Then a flex fuel kit is desirable
However here we have pump E85 that is actually E85 and does not vary seasonally or if you ran non pump ie purchased by drum and known E% then you could just tune for E85 and be done ?

If you had some way to guarantee that ethanol content wouldn't vary then yes, there would be no need to compensate for those variations with flex fuel. For most people that's not real life, though.

Does anyone have a diagram of the fuel system and the parts that come in contact with the fuel?
