I've stayed out of this discussion because I don't really know much about it.
All I really can say is I've heard people say both ways, some have used E85
with no issues whatsoever and some have troubles and claim all sorts of
stuff... Just like biodiesel as a matter of fact...
I'm given to understand that here in MA anyway we're all burning E05 anyway
since they've replaced MTBE (finally) with ethanol. I've noticed that since the
switch to ethanol I've not needed any drygas in my pickup which used to require
a pint every fall because of water in the gas...
So anyhow, if I had E85 available I'd give it a shot, maybe half a tank or 1/4
tank at first so reducing the overall mixture to E50 or less.

Well everyone seems to agree that I should check the monovalve.
Something happened this morning that makes me wonder what the heck is
going on. This morning, I had heat. I had it set on the regular
non/ac vent mode. About half way to work, I noticed I was warm and that
warm air was coming out the defrost. I did not have the defrost on.
After a little while, I was too warm, so I turned the temperature down
and it got colder and switched from defrost to vent. =20
=20
Is this all related to the monovalve?=20
