Default E-85

Going to be picking some brains for this. Other then cam and ls6 intake I'm fairly stock in the motor area, but with current gas prices I wouldn't mind swapping to E-85. But to do this will I need to get rid of the steel tank from my 98'. Was reading through this.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=602091&styleid=27

So I won't have any issues using my factory steel tank?

Sorry, you had said you were already going to replace that. E85 attracts water which causes rust. I think the steel fuel lines are alright but I would probably swap in a newer take since you have to pull it to replace the pump anyways

I would seriously consider replacing it due to the humidity in your area and the effects of e85 on non stainless.
