Can I run E85 in my '06?
I would have to say no simply because it is not advertised to be able to do so...
you need a different filter to run e85 correct?
anything over 10% will probably clog up the filter and possibly chew through non-silicon fuel lines.
You also need high compression to get any respectable power from e85... turbo would be recommended.
have you tried? i want to hear from someone that tried this and if it messes up the car what did it do?Quote:

Also, it won't clog your filter. Almost all of the local gas stations have 15% and the gto is fine w/ it.
ummm 15% vs 85% EtOH are worlds apart...
Nope... I haven't... Wouldn't want to risk ruining a car just to see if it worked... I have converted a Diesel Engine Car to run Cooking Oil, but that's it...Quote:

didnt you hear we can clone food so we dont need land lol but anyway you would need bigger injectors to i believe, i know a few k-series guys doing highcompression all motor builds using e85 but they needed to use a lot bigger injectors because it takes more fuel to runQuote:
