Converting To E-85 Ethanol Fuel

Hello. Just curious if anyone runs E-85 in their cars, or if there is any possible way to convert our cars so they can run straight E-85. Does anyone know if there's any way to do this on our cars? What what all would be required in doing this? Any comments/suggestions or ideas very much appreciated! Thanks.
 
Not sure on everything involved, but the tune would have to be changed to run E-85 vs. gas, and if you mix the two you'd need another tune somewhere in the middle.

Other than that, you would just need to make sure that all the rubber in the fuel system can handle the alcohol.
 
I recall reading that due to the moisture attracting nature of alcohol, stainless
steel lines and fittings were recommended.
