What are flexible-fuel vehicles?
All Big Three car companies manufacture flexible-fuel vehicles (FFVs). These are vehicles that can run on either regular gasoline or E-85 fuel. There is one fuel tank on a FFV, and the driver can fill-it-up as they would with a regular vehicle.There is only one major additional part that is included on an FFV – the fuel sensor that detects the ethanol/gasoline ratio. A number of other parts on the FFV’s fuel delivery system are modified so that they are ethanol compatible. The fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel injectors, computer system, anti-siphon device & dashboard gauges have been modified slightly. Alcohols are corrosive, therefore, any part that comes in contact with the fuel has been upgraded to be tolerant to alcohol. Normally, these parts include a stainless steel fuel tank & Teflon-lined fuel hoses.For more information on FFVs, please visit http://www.e85fuel.
