Default E85 Question

Can I run E-85 in my regular Ram HEMI? Will it hurt it?

The manual says not to run it.

Just got off the line with the dealership, he stated that the vehicles are not set up for E85 fuel... And the way you determine that is, if your vehicle has a Green/Yellow gas cap, that determines if your vehicle is equipped for E85.
Supposedly, if you have a E85 equipped vehicle you can use any type of gas in your vehicle (EXCEPT DIESEL OF COURSE)

off the record, you could run a mix of E10 and E85...and mix it right so you get about E30.....it should run just fine, all the vehicles we have here at school we run on a mix of the two and they all test to about E30

E85 when used in a non-E85 motor will surely void the warrantee. Also, alcohol can be corrosive on fuel system components requiring specialized stuff. 10% or less is not suppose to be an issue. Anything more I would not attempt.
