FAQ
What is the difference between a flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) and a regular vehicle?
A FFV allows you to fuel your vehicle with E85, gasoline, or any blend of ethanol in between. Essentially, there is little difference between how a FFV and a regular vehicle is constructed or operates. The three notable areas are the fuel tank, line, and sensor. The fuel tank will be made of a material other than aluminum and the fuel lines will be teflon-coated, because alcohol in large quantities over long periods of time may cause corrosion on certain rubber or aluminum components. The final difference, the fuel sensor, gauges the ratio of ethanol to gasoline and adjusts the injection system to adjust for the difference. The cost difference between a FFV and a regular vehicle is minimal compared to other options and features available for vehicles.
