Will E85 gasoline harm a non flex fuel car?
Yes
Can you use unleaded gas in an e85 car?
Yes. An E85 car is called a Flex Fuel car meaning it can burn regular gasoline or E85.
When will the car buying public be able to buy ethanol?
Right now; simply look for E85 gasoline.
What does flex fuel mean?
It means that the car can run on pure gasoline, E85 or any combination of the two.
Can you put regular unleaded gasoline in a flex fuel car?
Yes you can, infact you will get better Fuel mileage than E85.
What is burnt in the car engine to release energy for the car to move?
A mixture of fuel (such as petrol/unleaded gasoline, diesel, LPG or CNG, E85, etc.) and air.
What happen to a car when you put in e85 in a car that takes unleaed gas?
nothing really, It will just ride more rich and you'll have to service it a bit more often If you put E85 in a vehicle that is not a FlexFuel vehicle you will have serious problems. The E85 will cause major problems with the fuel lines and all other parts it comes in contact with. The E85 is much more corrosive than regular gasoline. Do not use E85 in a vehicle that is not FlexFuel.
Can you switch from plus gasoline to regular without causing harm to your car?
no
What is burnt in the engine to release energy for the car to move?
A mixture of fuel (such as petrol/unleaded gasoline, diesel, LPG or CNG, E85, etc.) and air.
Is there any problems with running e85 ethanol?
There should not be, IF your vehicle is set up to use it, typically identified by a "Flex Fuel" nameplate somewhere on the car or truck. One advantage of E85 is reduced contamination in the lubricant (engine oil), since alcohol burns with considerably fewer byproducts than gasoline. The biggest drawback is reduced fuel economy, which can vary a bit between vehicles, but is pretty much universal. E85 simply contains less energy per gallon than gasoline. It therefore requires more E85 to drive the same distance, as compared with gas. Whether or not it makes economic sense to use E85 is up to individual drivers. If your car or truck was made before about 2006, it is very unlikely that it can use anything other than gasoline. Putting E85 into a vehicle designed to run only on gasoline will cause very many problems, and can even severely damage the fuel system.
E85 in a regular engine?
Not recommended. E85 (flex fuel) engines are modified engines that allows the use of flex fuel. E85 is less potent then standard gas so more fuel (up to 34%) is needed to be injected into the cylinders to retain the car's power. Flex fuel cars have electronic fuel injectors, that can sense the E85 gasoline and increase the amount injected into the chamber. If you put E85 fuel into a standard engine, u will experience a significant reduction in power, and possibly doing harm to your engine. E85 fuel is good in a since that it burns cleaner and emits less emissions but because more fuel is needed to be injected, it produces lower fuel economy numbers.
What would happen if you run e85 in a non ffv motor?
Your car would sputter like you put water in the tank. Luckily, if you put in regular gasoline afterward, your car will forgive you. I found this out the hard way in my 1998 Ford Taurus Station Wagon. The car survived running 2 times on e85 and then regular gas. (Not the broken radiator, though.)
