Lies regarding what cars will run with this fuel. I own a 1991 explorer that WILL NOT run with this fuel. It vaporizes in the fuel rail and wont start.

Where I live, we are getting to the point that we dont have a choice on what to run. It almost all is the 10%blend.

Funny the answers are showing that it cant run on this fuel. Ford motor Co. states that ALL cars since 1989 or 1990 WILL run with the 10%blend.

Screen name "jdm". The fuel is vaporizing in the fuel rail and lines. I put fuel that DOES NOT CONTAIN 10% ETHANOL, the problem goes away.

The pump has been replaced. The regulator has been replaced. The presuure is perfect. 40lbs key on engine off. 35lbs engine running. Perfect specs. Anymore ideas??

Their plan is the mess up every ones car, so we will have to buy new ones. I have a 92, that I won't drive unless I carry two gallons of ATF with me. Any hill,it will dump out fluid.My 82 Mazda B2000 truck will run on 15% mix.

If all you people were over 20 years of age, you should know that 10% ethanol fuel has been on the market for more than 20 years. When it first came out, it would rot the rubber, corrode the aluminum, and turn loose all the rust in your fuel system, and clog your fuel filter. In the early 80s all fuel system parts turned to plastic and nylon, so you don't have that trouble any more. There has never been a car that would not run on gasohol, it just might cause problems until the system was cleaned up.
Now to address your problem with vapor lock. High temperature and high altitude cause vapor lock in carbureted vehicles. You have a high pressure fuel pump in your vehicle, and the only way it could vapor lock is if the pump is not putting out the proper pressure. Check your fuel pressure.

And you will also find your fuel mileage will drop using 10%, so don't use it. And I don't believe the 91 Ford Explorer is one listed as okay to run a mix in. Do you have a source that says it's okay?

Your car is over 15 years old and you expect it to work as well as newer ones? You do not have a vapor control system which is needed for the blend to be usable.

I don't think the problem lies within the fuel...sorry to say. That 10% of ethanol was put into every tank in America to replace MTBE. So far, you're the first person I've heard of that had issues.
Try and ask in here...

...maybe you really are onto something, but I have to be honest, I think you're overreacting.

That stuff works in specific cars only, NOT a 1991 Exploder.
