Curious about running Canflex, E20–30 sometimes for the extra power. E85 is out of the way so it wouldn’t be all the time.

I’ve heard from a few knowledgeable people that there should be no long term negative effects for a low mixture.

However, ethanol is known to be very corrosive. So i wanted to ask the forum if there is there any long term effects I should be worried about if I run E20-E30 sometimes? I’ve read that ethanol deteriorates hoses and gaskets a lot faster then if running just 93.

All fuel components are fully ethanol safe from the factory. This is the key difference between any car produced in recent years when compared to a 25 year old vehicle when it comes to safe ethanol usage.
