If your engine isn't setup to take E85, it won't work. Something about the gaskets and seals in regular gas burning engines not agreeing with E85. We went over it in one of my auto tech classes a few years ago at college. Some people add something like 10% acetone, but it doesn't really help (they tried it on Mythbusters). Maybe someone out there makes a conversion kit...it probably wouldn't be too expensive seeing as how nothing major needs to be replaced.
