    Definitely not an E85 thing. Gasoline fumes will ignite very easily from any spark of basically any type of normal petrol. It’s kinda’ exactly what it’s refined to do…

      I was incorrect. The problem is E85 has no problem burning down into the tank, where a large pressure increase could make the tank rupture and a large fire break out. Petrol kills the fire if the ratio fule:air becomes too rich, E85 does not.
