Advantages/Disadvantages to e85 other than performance

I thought i'd share this video on youtube, it maybe informative to people who are running e85 or a blend or are thinking about e85. I myself found it very interesting.

The two guys talking aren't the most charismatic (lol), but it still has some interesting information.

Doesn't seem to be a controlled study. They just took two donated vehicles and tore them down. If they would have done this with two of the same vehicles and ran them the same way for the same lengths of time and one with e and one regular then it would be legit.

Okay once he went to the armature he started talking crap. The fuel doesnt interact with the armature of a motor. The Armature does NOT PUMP the fule, the Armature only turns the pump.

The thing i found intersting was that the e85 didn't break down the fuel lines, but there is a lot of useless sh*t. It would have been nice if they could have someone who knew more about ethanol vs gasoline, rather than just some instructors at a community college, but none the less still found some of it to be interesting.
