Default will Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket work with e85?

I'm installing bulk head fuel fittings w/ teflon washers into a plastic composite gas tank to supply my external fuel pump and was hoping to use Aviation Form-A-Gasket on both the washers and the threads to promote the best seal possible.

I see that this product seems to be a good match for those uses, but it doesn't mention any compatibility with E85 fuel. I'm curious if anyone is running this on fuel system parts that see E85, and if so, is it still effective?

well... it works great with regular gas. I had some light seepage on my feed hole while testing the bulkhead fittings last weekend and after a coat of this on the bulkhead threads and the mating surface between the AN fitting base/washer/tank it's sealed up tight.

I guess I'll just give it a try with e85 and keep an eye on it.
