Bosch 044 and e85??

Are these pumps e85 compatible?? I've had two die on me recently and the problems only started after I changed over to ethanol. Anyone else had issues???

By all OEM design standards, the Bosch 044 is not considered an E85 compatible pump and is susceptible to failure if ran in high alcohol content fuels
