Does the machine/engine need to be modified/changed to use this biofuel?

E10 is widely used in Australia and i use it to fuel up any dingbat car that isn't mine or doesn't need a higher octane, the only thing is that you will need to change the fuel injector piping because rubber and ethanol are an odd couple. This is only required for older cars, new cars run fine without any modifications.

E85 is a very high percentage blend of ethanol and is used in some rural communities, its octane is extremely high BUT an ECU remap is required to run it. A member of SAU tested E85 on his high boost Skyline without much issues after the mappings were edited.
