Just a precaution that I take. JoeC also posted a while ago in a thread of some flex fuel system cleaner he uses every now and then to clear them up, I believe fftec recommends it, I'll see if I can pull that up when I get home.

Also that brown gunk is probably the sugars in the Ethanol. My guess is that it's going through a caramelizing process like when you put sugar on a frying pan.
Got ya. If you get a chance, let me know exactly what cleaner you run, JoeC. Just joined the e85 game and trying to stay informed. Thanks guys.
