Thanks RustyFarmall, you are the first one I have noticed not condeming E-85. With a stock engine if you run E-85 in the winter the ONLY thing that will be different is you will need to run the choke a little more. In the summer, fuel delivery will be an issue. Need to get more E-85 into the motor vs. gas. E-85 has a octane rating of 102. It will burn more completely in the cylinder than gas (any octane). E-85 however does not have the umphhh as gasoline. Straight E-85 should not do ANY damage to any motor. Any who says that it will does not know much about E-85. My father has a 54 JD 70, last 2 years only E-85. My 49 MM UTU I run about 20% in it (need the umphhh, pulling tractor). I pull against a MM ZA, MM UTS, JD 70, JD 720, & JD 620 that have used E-85 for 2 yrs of pulling. It will clean crap out of everything. Sediment bowls may need to be cleaned out a little more often. It will also loosen up everything in the fuel tank.
