Question

Can 2004 KIA Optimas run on E85?

Answer 1

Why would you want to.  E85 is bad.  It is worse on the environment pollution wise and your economy drops up to 30%.  Hence you use more and pollute more.  Ethanol is bad stuff.

Answer 2

Unlikely, only Ford, Saab and Volvo produce models designed to run on E85 in the UK.  You might have problems with fuel injection and engine management system also unsuitable hose material in fuel system.  As previous answerer says you could check in owner's manual or with dealer.

Answer 3

All cars can safely run on up to 30% ethanol.  So put 7 gallons of gasoline in it and 3 gallons of E85 when you fill up.  It is not flex fuel but you can still use some E85 in it.  Just don't go over 50% ethanol overall or your check engine light may come on.

Answer 4

The owner's manual will tell you that. If you don't have it any more, the dealer should be able to get you one. You may have to pay for it though. Of the dealer could just tell you if it can use that fuel.
