What is a Flex Fuel System?

A flex fuel system is a vehicle fuel system that allows the engine to run on more than one fuel type, most commonly gasoline and E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). The system uses sensors to detect the ratio of ethanol in the fuel and adjusts the engine’s fuel injection and timing accordingly. This allows the vehicle to run on a variety of fuel mixtures, from pure gasoline to E85, or any blend in between. Advanced Fuel Dynamics flex fuel systems are designed to integrate with your vehicle’s existing fuel system, making the transition to E85 simple and efficient.

Benefits of Using E85 Fuel

E85 fuel offers several advantages over traditional gasoline. One key benefit is its higher octane rating, which can lead to improved engine performance, including increased horsepower and torque, especially in vehicles designed to take advantage of it. E85 is also a renewable fuel source, often made from corn or other crops, which can reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Furthermore, in many areas, E85 is available at a lower price per gallon compared to gasoline, potentially leading to cost savings for the vehicle owner. The use of E85 also results in lower emissions compared to traditional gasoline, contributing to a cleaner environment. Cost savings and performance gains can vary based on the specific vehicle model and local fuel prices. For example, Chevrolet Silverado and Cadillac CTS can see noticeable improvements.
