Default Ethanol / e85 / flex fuel 1997 xj6

hello all, i have a few questions regarding what it will take to convert my xj6 to run on ethanol. I know that i would have to get different injectors and a better fuel pump but i was wondering, would i be able to use the stock fuel lines with e85 or would the ethanol corrode them? If need be i would replace them for ones that would withstand the ethanol but if the stock ones would hold up id rather not replace something i don't have too. And as for tuning the ECU, is there anyone out there that i could send off the ecu too and have them flash it for flexfuel? I figure XJRengineer would be the guy to ask if it can be done or if i'd be better off getting a standalone ECU like mega squirt and having it done that way. Any inquiries would be appreciated! Thank you all

Why would you want to do that with the low price of fuel these days?

Anything new on this? Here e85 is 0.95€/l and 98e5 1.65€/l. Would one need to up the boost to get any benefit from it?
