in a word, no. for vehicles to be able to run on e85 or be considered "flex-fuel" it needs special equipment. for example it needs special o-rings in the fuel system and else where to deal with e85 or else the rubber will just swell up and deteriorate. also the pcm or ecm needs to be programed to run on e85 because the properties are different than regular gas.
