I accidentally put 6 gallons of e85 fuel into my 2000 Toyota 4Runner. Should I be worried?

Question

On an empty tank, I started filling up with e85. I then realized my mistake and stopped the filling. I then filled up the rest of my tank with normal gasoline. That tank has since been used up and no apparent problems have surfaced. Is there anything I should do? (other than not using e85 again :)

Answer 1

The website says that you did the right thing by diluting it with regular unleaded gasoline and that there should be no permanent damage.

Answer 2

you wont have a problem. in fact you might want to check the owners manual, or the dealer if you dont have the manual, and see if your truck was designed as a flex fuel vehicle. many vehicles since the mid 90's have been set up as a flex fuel vehicles by the manufacturers.

Answer 3

No problem it should run better and it will help clean the engine.A lot of people use a mix of around 30% e85 with gas.

but if you get a converter kit you can run  all e85

Answer 4

I normally run some ethanol through my car every year as it will remove moisture from your fuel system,thus preventing freeze up.

Answer 5

Are you talking about low octane (85?) It will not hurt your car. Even j*p junk
