It probably would run pretty crappy, but one tankful would not do much damage. The E85 requires different rubber and gaskets that do not degrade from the ethanol, so it can harm them a bit but I doubt one tank is going to do much damage. I'd make sure to dilute it with regular gas at the first chance.

The car would probably run pretty lousy but may not suffer any permanent damage if it doesn't sit and eat away your fuel lines. If it was my car, I'd siphon out as much as possible into approved red gas cans. Then you have to figure out how to dispose of that E85. It would be easy enough if you knew someone who could use it. Otherwise, you could call your local recycling center and inquire (I would start with my county recycling office first). Do NOT re-use the stuff in lawnmowers, garden equipment, boats, etc.

It runs VERY badly but no major damage is done.

However, the OTHER WAY AROUND (that is putting gasoline in engines made EXCLUSIVELY for E85, and that are only available in Brazil) is a no-no.

Because if you put gasoline on an engine made for E85 you'll get so many major knocks and pings until you literally will blow holes into the pistons.

Hope I was useful
