You've been a mechanic Franco, would I be up for multiple fuel filters when going from petrol (previous owner) to running it on E85?

Landcruisers are still at ludicrous speed in their pricing. And there's so many makes and models (even new) that I go 'I just would not drop 20-40K on something like that, I can't see the value, rather have it in divvies from stocks tbh'.
I filled the company car with E85 - VF SV6, it claims it can run on E85.

It killed the in tank fuel pump module and also killed the high pressure fuel pump on the engine in about 100km on the highway.

I guess she didn't like her first tank of E85 after 200,000km

So from experience you'll be up for an in tank fuel pump module and the high pressure fuel pump if its one of the 6 cylinder direct injection jobs
