E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles

Non-Flex Fuel (FFV) vehicles are compatible with gaso-

line containing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher

ethanol content may void the vehicle’s warranty.

If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85

fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms:

• Operate in a lean mode
• OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on
• Poor engine performance
• Poor cold start and cold driveability
• Increased risk for fuel system component corrosion
To fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fueled once with

E-85 perform the following:

• Change the engine oil and oil filter
• Disconnect and reconnect the battery
• Drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer)
More extensive repairs will be required for prolonged

exposure to E-85 fuel.
