I believe this may be the thread David was thinking of.

Seems that they add in at the end that seafoam seems to work as well as gasoline at dissolving the gunk.

That's a nice thread!
as far as the extent of the damage on my car it's not fully known yet. The obvious is the top of the block and bottom of the head will need to be repaired. I'm not sure about the cylinder/pistons/rings/rods/bearings/crank etc..

Definitely glad to see this has all been resolved 
There is enough drama in the Mitsu world, its nice to avoid adding any more.
I wonder if the atomization particle size/pattern of the nozzles has an effect on the gunk buildup? It would be interesting to see if someone can have the gunk chemically analyzed and compared with the same fuel in the tank. That way we can determine if its 100% fuel or if its something else from the fuel lines, rubber seals, etc...

I go out of town for a week and all hell breaks loose. I'm going to try that Lucas E85 ethnaol injector cleaner today if i can find it. Glad y'all worked it out. Its surprising when people act like adults, can admit mistakes and that could've handled any given situation better. Kudos to you guys.

I just finished up checking out my FIC 1100c injectors and there was zero buildup, I have been running e85 for the last 3 months 100% of the time.
I also tossed in a can of seafoam just to be sure.
On my 91 Galant I was running FIC 2150cc injectors and I had the build up. I got my E85 from the same place as always.
