Not recommended. E85 (flex fuel) engines are modified engines that allows the use of flex fuel. E85 is less potent then standard gas so more fuel (up to 34%) is needed to be injected into the cylinders to retain the car's power. Flex fuel cars have electronic fuel injectors, that can sense the E85 gasoline and increase the amount injected into the chamber. If you put E85 fuel into a standard engine, u will experience a significant reduction in power, and possibly doing harm to your engine. E85 fuel is good in a since that it burns cleaner and emits less emissions but because more fuel is needed to be injected, it produces lower fuel economy numbers.

What is the difference in curb weight between a regular gasoline engine and an E85 version of the same model?
There shouldn't be anything significant. An E85 and Gas engine are the same. The only difference is that fuel lines and engine seals must be designed to work with E85 fuel because alcohol is more corrosive than gas and that the vehicle must have a sensor that can determine the amount of alcohol in the fuel so that it can get the fuel/air mixture correct .
Can E85 ethanol and regular unleaded gas be mixed?
Regular gasoline can be used in an E85 vehicle, but E85 cannot be used in a vehicle that wasn't designed for it. Why? Bascially moving E85 creates a static charge, so the gas system needs to be mostly plastic to reduce the risk of sparking (plastic fittings, tubes, etc).
Will E85 damage a diesel engine?
Yes, it will destroy a diesel engine.
What happens if you put e85 gasoline in a regular gasoline engine?
It will ruin the engine. Ethanol is a much harsher fuel than gasoline and also requires a higher compression ratio to burn efficiently.
