Should I be using fuel additive when using e15 or 85?
06 v 10

 

You should probably go read your owner's manual.

 

A) Super Duties never got flex fuel from the factory. If yours has been altered, you will need to contact whoever did that to find out exactly what fuel is safe.
B) Under normal use you should never need fuel additives if you are using the correct fuel that your engine requires, which you are probably not based on you feeling the need to ask that question.

 

The 6.2 SD is Flex Fuel from the factory but the V10 wasn't.

I've never found a need or reason to at fuel additives to any gas motor that has been running good clean fuel, the ethanol in itself is a good solvent and will clean or keep your system clean.

Ethanol In Your Gasoline Tank: The Pros And Cons


One of many articles on ethanol fuel.

 

I find it funny that they keep on saying farm ground that would be used for growing food but in real life the farm ground that is used for corn for ethanol production was and is still used to grow field corn used for feed mostly for cows. But after the corn is used for ethanol the mayor byproduct is a high protein feed that is feed to cows so in the end it's being used twice.

Now, if we could capture all the methane that the cattle produce digesting that feed, could we call it a "triple usage" of that farmland since methane is also a viable energy product?

 

Thank you for being the first to post a REAL ANSWER, and not a glib reply

 

There is probably some college funded program that is trying to fit a cows rear with a tube and reservoir that stores it and can be transferred to a large transportation tank. I grew up on a farm and its absurd what the gubment forces upon farmers. It is difficult enough to make a living with out all the bureaucracy.

 

And now, the politics can STOP.

Move along, nothing to see here
