We use E15 with no issues. Living on the coast we have ethanol free fuel available at most gas stations. I use that for my lawn equipment.
Except most of mine.Virtually every car since 2001 has been able to run E15 (It's all there is in California) . Now E85 is a different situation.
My 09 Camry is the same way, but it burns E15 quite well. I have not tried it in my 01 Beetle, but I know my 95 Wrangler runs terrible on ethanol, which bugs me being such a pro-ethanol guy. However, ethanol wasn't much of a mainstream thing until the early 2000's.
Guess you've never seen any of his videos.I’ll watch this later, but a dude holding an ear of sweet corn has me feeling skeptical…..
I'm wondering exactly what ill effects are supposed to result to the vehicle from reducing gasoline/ETOH ratio from 90% to 85%. Any fuel system components that resist E10 should also be fine with E15.
So, what exactly is E15's ill effect on the vehicle itself is supposed to be?
Is that really true? I was under the impression that car manufactures stated the 10% maximum due to materials compatibility.
But the 10% maximum may also stem from the time period (early to mid 2000s) when they stated the 10% maximum because that was most likely the max ethanol blend back in those days - ?.
I'll second ZeeOSix's sentiment... Jason is solid; a degreed engineer with a long history of solid videos. He doesn't waste your time.I’ll watch this later, but a dude holding an ear of sweet corn has me feeling skeptical…..
You could look at it this way: diesel fuel is legal to use per the EPA. That doesn't mean you should run it in a new car with a gasoline engine.I find it interesting that there are still manufacturers in at least 2021 model years selling cars that can't handle a fuel that EPA deemed legal to use in 2012.
On the other hand, Fords have been capable since the 2013 model year per their owners manuals...
