Why would want to use E85. You gas mileage decreases 35%. www.fueleconomy.gov It cost more to run E85. And it worse on the enviroment. www.factsonfuel.com and www.9news.com It also takes over 1000 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of ethanol. Rocky Mountain News August 25, 2007. Ethanol only has 76,000 BTU, to make 1 gallon of ethanol it take 73,500 BTU (fossil fuel) to make the ethanol. Gasoline BTU is over 115,000. ABC on May 04, 2007 called ethanol the #1 myth in america. Check out www.cato.com An ADM plant in Clinton Iowa put out 20 times more pollutants than to government allows. It puts out 20,000 tons a year when they are only allowed 100 tons.

even if it was a flexfuel van i wouldn't. but being that it isn't configured for e85 i would highly advise against it. will void any warranty and doesn't have the other required parts. typically different parts in the engine and other fuel system components.

Absolutely not. The effects would be similar to filling up with diesel. You would be shopping for a new van.

only if your engine is setup for it, otherwise you might as well put sugar in your tank for all the good it would do
