I am no expert, but since no one else has spoke up, I will. It is my
understanding that a mulitfuel engine prefers diesel. Running on
anything else is for short term emergency use only and will greatly
effect the lifespan of the engine. I wouldn't put that E85 stuff in
any MV's. From your link it will only run in a few modern cars esp
designed for it. 85% ethanol is a very powerful solvent and would
probably eat up all kinds of stuff in an older system.
