E85 gas on Ford SUV.

[ale828]

I read in another forum that the 2004-2006 Ford Explorer SUV sold here was E85 compatible without any modifications. Even the late model Explorer sport tracs daw are E85 compliant. Is this true?

Siguro naman pwede kasi parehong pareho naman ng engine eh. Hindi ko lang sure sa mga Explorer na katulad sa akin kasi updated yung features ng engine. Additional HP at 5 Speed Matic yung new Explorer..

Sir, kindly check the links below. I understand that the vehicles listed there (4.0L Explorer/Explorer Sport Trac) are those that are sold in the United States. However, it could also be used as reference (IMHO) if the vehicles that you're asking about were sold here as CBUs from the US.

I hope this helps.

Kung nabasa mo yung E85 thread, lalo daw sasama ang FC ng sasakyan mo. Kaya parang nagbabayad ka parin ng P57/L. Plus yung convertion kit kung kailangan (24K).

Siguro ok na rin na hindi ka mag E85.. hayaan mo nalang na stock yung makina kung ganun din ang gagastusin mo.

Yes, I also read that those Explorer 4.0 SUVs are Flex Fuel Vehciles that are E85 compatible (even Motioncars said so in their "Car Chart" buyer's guide) while the older V6 Sport Tracs are not E85 compatible.
To make sure you can always check the owner's manual, check the inside of the fuel door or have your VIN number checked.

Off-topic:
The Jeep Commander Limited sold here is E85 compatible.

For US-market E85 compatible cars, you don't need SeaOil's conversion kit.
