E85 gasoline

**GTi** · July 1st, 2008 09:46 PM

I read from the news that they are now going to make E85 available in the stations and that it can be bought for about 39.25 per liter. Is it true? When will it be implemented? Can a 2005 Honda Accord 2.4 and a 2003 Ford Escape 2.0 4x4 be able to use that fuel without engine modification?

Read the same thing in inquirer yesterday. Seaoil is supposed to start selling it as well as conversion kits to allow engines to safely use it. I'm no expert, but AFAIK, you cant use E85 on ordinary engines.

Ford has the E85 capable Focus. Aside from this, I dont know if any locally available car is capable of using E85.

Locally, the Jeep Commander can do E85 (meaning 85% Ethanol + 15% Gas).

From Ford Philippines

In the Philippines, Ford unveils the first ever FFV vehicles in the Ford Focus 1.8 litre and Ford Focus 2.0L Sport - an unprecedented achievement in Philippines automotive history. Both vehicles are E20 capable, meaning they can run on fuel composed of 80% gasoline and 20% ethanol.

di magagamit ang E80 dito, except for the Focus.
E20? ubra pa yan, pero threading the thin line na yan...

Among the ford fleet of vehicles available here, only the Escape cannot run on ethanol. Focus can run on E20, don't know about the new Expeds but the Explorer is the only one capable running on E85 blend.

They say E85 will hover the P35/l when the biofuel law has been approved. There are also conversion kits available to purchase so that engines can run on E85. Question is how much for the kit?

Sarap bumili ng Focus tuloy.
