E85 in Philly

Theres a Sunoco or was it a Shell that has it.
The gas station on 12th and Vine St. Philadelphia, PA.

It has a sign saying E85.
I've always seen it there, bet hesistant on doing so.
Can our evos handle the E85 w/o any modifcations?

i wanna use E85 strictly, but theres only one in the area.
I wouldn't like to have a tune on E85 and not be able to fill up with it.
Regular 93 wouldn't work on the E85 tune.

No, you would have to redo the fuel system to run it in the evo. There has been a few threads on this topic. E85 will eat through your lines and some other things thats why only cars that are made for it use it unless you do a conversion of some type

Well guess its eating through all of our lines right now because we have 10-15% of it in our tanks as we type.

i think e85 means that its 85% ethonal compared to the 10-15% in gasoline. Do a search and read the threads about it and you'll see that you will have to do a conversion and that it eats through the lines.
