Not using E85 on aircraft does not disqualified me from speaking about first hand experience with my 2010 Ducati 1198s. Long list of issues among the most noticeable and costly.......swelling of gas tank, corrosion on the EFI throttle bodies, cylinder head corrosion, low compression due to pitting corrosion on cylinder walls, crank bearing corrosion, etc.... All just 2500 miles and thankfully under warranty. Ducati just settled a law suit to life warranty deforming swelling gas tanks in the US......i have owned ducati,s since the 70's and never and issue with all mentioned. Since all gas station are pushed to sell E85 even at the higher octane ratings, you have no choice now days...japanese MC,s have same issue
