all road legal vehicles since the late 80 have to use PTFE fuel components. safe for e85. alot of roomers against E85 around. I use to believe them.

As far as fuel component degradation - the components are fine as we now have states mandating 15% ethanol for regular gasoline. Pretty much any car made after 2004 should be 100% ethanol safe as far as not having the ethanol dry out / rot / corrode any components.
However when storing a car for long periods of time (here we have a storage season of 5-6 months) it would be best to store it with non-oxy gasoline. The alcohol can absorb a lot of water from the atmosphere, which (1) your car will not like to run on and (2) once the water is in the tank, could cause some corrosion issues

The tanks are plastic...nothing is going to corrode. If you store your car in a climate controlled building then there isn't any issue with leaving E in the tank.

After the tune you can run any combination of gas and E85 that you want, I've switch back and forth many times now. I'm glad E85 is local to me, also 93 octane is standard in Austin. So I'm lucky either way.
