I find the E85 will cause the inner lining of the rubber to fail and that can clog your engine. Happens quite a bit to cars running E85 on standard petrol set-ups out here - my Holden SSV ute (like a modern Chevy SS El Camino) has a flex-fuel sensor in it from the factory and has different rubber fuel lines to other models that aren't sold as E85-ready. We ran the Mighty Car Mods Subarute on E85 when we built it for the challenge against Roadkill and I was a bit surprised more guys weren't across how good it is in high-comp and boosted applications.
I don't want to seem like a know-it-all but we've been playing with "corn juice" down here for a few years and I'd hate to see someone damage a motor because of $2 rubber fuel line.
PS: - how good does it smell? Haha!
