Cars that are E85 compatible have different fuel lines, tanks, etc that can withstand the corrosive effects of ethanol. Cars that are compatible with 10% ethanol do not have the corrosion resistance fuel related parts the E85 cars have. That extra 5% in the 15% ethanol blend could definitely be a cause for concern. Some that are running E85 in their non-compatible vehicles "with no problems" are in for a rude awakening one of these days. Last edited by INTIMIDAT3R; 01-07-2013 at 12:15 PM. |

Anything above 10% can only be used by flex fuel engines.
It isn't news if someone put 15% in a car not designed for it and it breaks. This isn't an ethanol issue. Its a "follow directions" issue. |

"AAA research reveals need for regulators and industry to suspend E15 sales to protect motorists A recent survey by AAA finds a strong likelihood of consumer confusion and the potential for voided warranties and vehicle damage as a result of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent approval of E15 gasoline. An overwhelming 95 percent of consumers surveyed have not heard of E15, a newly approved gasoline blend that contains up to 15 percent ethanol. "
