E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles
Non-FFV vehicles are compatible with
gasoline containing 10% ethanol (E10).
Gasoline with higher ethanol content may
void the vehicle’s warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fu-
eled 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 compo-
nent corrosion
To fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fu-
eled 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.
MMT In Gasoline
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic
additive that is blended into some gaso-
line to increase octane. Gasoline blended
with MMT provides no performance ad-
vantage beyond gasoline of the same
octane number without MMT. Gasoline
blended with MMT reduces spark plug life
and reduces emissions system perfor-
mance in some vehicles. The manufac-
turer recommends that gasoline without
MMT be used in your vehicle. The MMT
content of gasoline may not be indicated
on the gasoline pump, therefore, you
should ask your gasoline retailer whether
the gasoline contains MMT. It is even more
important to look for gasoline without MMT
in Canada, because MMT can be used at
levels higher than those allowed in the
United States. MMT is prohibited in refor-
mulated gasolines.
Materials Added to Fuel
All gasoline sold in the United States is
required to contain effective detergent ad-
ditives. Use of additional detergents or
other additives is not needed under nor-
mal conditions and they would result in
additional cost. Therefore, you should not
have to add anything to the fuel.
