Depends the 8.1 is not rated for E-85, you may damage fuel lines and/or seals, I would quickly fill the tank with pure gasoline if you can (E-ZERO if you can get it) and pray.. Hopefully you have a 70 gallon tank so that will work out to about e-40.
That said....
The problem is solvents. Both Gasoline and Alcohol are solvents but they dissolve different things. Now modern flex-fuel cars are designed with parts that resist both Gasoline (Petrol for Some Folks) and Alcohol,
The 8.1 and the Workhorse Custom Chassis, however, are NOT, thus there is a serious posiblity of damage
Though you should not have to worry about gas line freezup for a while
