2018 E85 compatibility

Did Ford take away the flex fuel capabilities with the 2018 5.0 and 3.3??

Fill neck states that it will take E0-E15 fuel.

Can't burn it in my 17 3.5 EB either... Turbocharging an engine running E85 makes infinitely more sense than putting E85 through a NA (normally aspirated) engine.

I think the problem with that is that even though the pump says E85, they are allowed to sell as low as 51%.

It would be listed on the other side, under options:
Mine states - 5.0L V8 FFV Engine $ 800

Well, at least yours is clearly not an FFV. My 2017 5.0L says FFV all over the window sticker, but is nowhere to be found on the truck. No yellow filler, no sticker, no badge. Cannot get a straight answer about whether it is, then, in fact a FFV or not.

I'd guess the difference in the 2018 is the change in injection methods.

Strange...our 2017 5.0 has a yellow filler neck.
