E85 Lubrication

[Phantomhalo]

so I've been running E85 for a little while now and don't really want to switch back to gasoline to lubricate everything. The question is, what have you guys been using to add lubrication to the fuel system while running E85 or is there even such a thing?

lucas ethanol treatment.

I've never added anything, run E85 full time. The fuel parts on this car are approaching 9 years old. Fires first time every time runs awesome. I think the 15% gas provides plenty of lubrication.

Sweet, thanks! I may run that ethanol treatment just for piece of mind then.

I use the lucas every winter when I store car. I just make sure tank is full to limit condensation.

I just use the lucas stabilizer my car hasn't seen nothing but e85 for almost 3 years now and I haven't had any problems

Never used any additives.

 

[Phantomhalo]

Thanks all for the replies! I won't worry too much about it after this bottle then.

Klotz makes an upper cylinder lube that lots of people used to mix in with methanol on their dirt modifieds.

No additives here

Someone correct me if I'm remember this wrong, but I think I remember reading that if you're running a catch can setup or breathers, it adds to the concerns because you also then don't have that oil vapor coming through the intake.

Been running open breathers with e85 from day one. Ethanol is not dry like methanol.

No lube here but only been running E85 for 5 years.
