E-85 fuel offers less energy than
gasoline, so you will need to refill
your tank more often when using
E-85.If you have trouble starting
your vehicle while using E-85 fuel,
switch to regular gasoline or add
gasoline to the ethanol fuel in your
fuel tank.
When switching between gasoline
and E-85 fuel, add at least 11 L
(2.9 U.S. gallons) of fuel. Drive the
vehicle immediately after fueling
for a minimum of 11 km (7 miles).
Switching repeatedly between
gasoline and E-85 fuel is not
recommended.
To ensure quick starts in cold
weather, the E-85 fuel should be
formulated properly for your
climate.
For good starting and heater
efficiency at temperatures below
0°C, the fuel mix in your vehicle
should contain a maximum of
70% ethanol.
