I am not sure if the lines are designed for E85 but I do know they are designed for at least E10 which is what most gas stations offer. I am not an expert on every different materials compatibility with ethanol but I am a mechanical engineer and I'm assuming that if they used materials that could withstand 10% ethanol chances are these same materials can withstand a much higher ethanol content. Material analysis of the different fuel system components can confirm this theory but I really do not think it is necessary.

Instead I am going to keep an eye on the fuel system and if ethanol starts spraying out everywhere than I think it would be safe to say the fuel system was not designed for it. If this doesn't happen than it looks like I assumed right lol.
