In the case of a Ford Ranger :
Certain years had a flex fuel version of the 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine available
( it could run on " regular " unleaded gasoline , 87 octane , or E85 , or any combination of the two fuels )
no, flex fuel is 2005 and up gm models
No , the engine has to be designed to be a flex fuel engine ( gas / E85 )
You cannot burn E85 in a vehicle that is not Flex Fuel. I do not think your Trailblazer is Flex Fuel. If it is it will have a yellow gas cap, and a sticker saying Flex Fuel. If you have any doubts look in your owner's manual or call your GM dealer and provide your VIN#. They can verify if it is Flex Fuel.
No, on the Chrysler products that offer flex fuel when running on E85 there is a 25% loss in fuel economy.
NO! As far as I know the Vibe is NOT a Flex Fuel vehicle. If it is Flex Fuel and can burn E85 it will have a label affixed to the vehicle somewhere. Do NOT use E85 in a non Flex Fuel vehicle.
FlexFuel will be written on the vehicle somewhere if that vehicle is Flex Fuel.
Different alloy metals and different composite seals in the flex fuel pump.....than a regular pump. flex fuels will tear up regular fuel pumps.
Some were flex, but only if you have the flex fuel motor, There will be a sticker under hood and gas door that say E85 approved.
No, you cannot use E85 or above in any engine not designed for that fuel. You will damage the engine if you do.
No
E85 or gas.
Most car companies are going in the direction of creating fuel efficient cars and trucks, but you might want to contact Toyota at their website Toyota.com and ask them when they will start production on flex fuel cars. GM currently has vehicles that are flex fuel so go to Chevy.com or GMC.com and look at what flex vehicles are out on the road currently.
