How do you know if your car ?

Question

or is it just on the newer models that have the flex fuel

Answer 1

Take your vin code to your local dealership or just call the dealerships parts department with your vin code and they will be able to tell you.

Answer 2

See the link below for a complete list of flex fuel vehicles.

The link will tell you how to check your VIN number to tell if the vehicle can use E85.

If your vehicle is not on this list, it is not made to use E85.

If you use E85 in a vehicle that is not designed for it, you risk the chance of doing some expensive damage to your fuel system.

Also.  If your vehicle can use E85, but hasn't used it in a couple of years, you may need to change your fuel filter after your first tank of E85.  This is because the ethanol in E85 will act like a strong solvent in your fuel system.  It will clean out any sludge in your fuel tank and fuel system.  This cleaning action could plug your fuel filter.
