You'd hafta reprogram the computer or purchase a "kit" that retrofits the fuel delivery system. The only place to purchase this system is a place in Brazil. The U.S. govt. doesn't allow that technology to be sold from here as it changes the stock configuration, and the EPA doesn't allow anybody to tamper with or modify the emissions systems on cars. Fairly shortsighted I really must say!! Not impossible but not cost efficient.

Yes much to old. Retrofitting for E-85 means different injectors and computer. Once done you can not flex fuel gas and E-85 like the new cars and trucks. But why would you want to burn some rare fuel blend you cannot get everywhere?

i dont think is "ol" or ok to burn that. e-85 means it has a lower ethanol content that regular unleaded gas (which is 87). that means it will probably run for a little bit and seize up or just not work at all. plus, the cars that run e85 have a complicated computer system to recognize the presence of e-85 and to change the jetting in the automatic carburetor (they have a better word for it) accordingly. Dont do it.
