E-85 Smell
Latley when I go WOT I can smell E-85 inside the car? Why? Could it be a leak somewhere?

maybe E85 evaporates quicker than gasoline being an alchohol, and its seapping through the fuel pump acces panel under the rear seat ??

Do you have an o2 dump on the car? That would be a good reason why you'd be able to smell it with it being in front of the passenger part of the car

I've been running E85 for over a year and have never smelled it in the cabin with the windows up, you definitely have something wrong.
