Default E-85

I was wondering if my 2008 Is250 AWD could use that fuel.

Ik ethanol is corrosive and that you can't have rubber parts in the tank nor engine and so on. I also did a good search and couldn't find anything useful.

Modern rubber fuel components will not have a problem running E85; heck, I ran E85 on my boosted Civic and it was a '92 yr model. Stock fuel lines and all, just an aftermarket FPR.

Now back to if you can use E85 in ANY stock 2IS...no! When you run E85 you have to flow about 25-35% fuel through the motor, setup dependent. But since their really isn't any feasible way to mod our ECUs, this not a choice for us. Now, if the ECU situation changes and you would like to boost your 2IS E85 would be a great choice...especially with the higher compression of our motors. I loved getting 105 octane from the pump for my boosted Civic.
