Question

Is it safe to put " e-85" gas in an older vehicle?

Answer 1

No, I think they said not earlier than 99

Answer 2

quick answer is no, it will cause damage after prolonged use.

Answer 3

No you can't the engine needs to be designed to run on E-85 some of the new cars can, people who own older cars though are stuck seriously I wouldn't even try it that's like putting diesel in a gasoline engine its not going to survive. Good Luck

Answer 4

If your car is not e-85 compatible it will not run. severe damage can result from using e-85 in a standard fuel system. e-85 in a standard fuel system corrodes the system and causes leaks. it destroys standard fuel filters, injectors, and carburetors. DO NOT use E-85 in anything but a flex fuel vehicle.

incidentally, while e-85 is cheaper the fuel mileage loss over gasoline makes it more expensive to use.

Answer 5

No, it will ruin the complete fuel system and damage the engine as well.
