OEM Fuel Return line - E85 Safe?

Currently I am running a dual 044 setup with the stock pump feeding the sump. With all these fuel prices, thought I switch things up a bit and tune for E85.

My return line is nearly 100% stock and I was worried if I run E85 fuel could cause problems. Any thoughts?

Thank you

i dont see why it would cause problems. most cars of that generation are deigned to accept fuel with Ethanol content. On another note it is pretty easy replace the return and you should be returning to your sump anyway rather then the main tank.
