Seems to me if it was that simple then it would be standard on ALL engines.


factory flex fuel vehicles can run on straight e-85 or any mixture of gas and e-85,, if you program a standard vehicle to run on e-85 you must fill up with straight e-85 every time,, the factory flex fuel vehicles have a sensor to measure the alcohol content and can vary the timing and fuel to run on any % of gas/e-85

the aftermarket conversion boxes have a switch so you can go back to standard gasoline if you want to but you need to run out most all of the e-85 first, then fill up with gasoline and flip the switch back to stock
