E85 Ethanol will she blow?

It's been a while since i've posted but anyhow. I have an 2003 expedition with the 5.4 and an 93 F-150 4.9. Can they safely run on the new Ethanol?, it's starting to be available here.

I don't think E85 is OK for either vehicle.

Perhaps one of the lower percentage blends such as E10 would be OK in the Expy, but I'd not try it in the F150.

the 10 percent ethanol would be fine for either one. i use it in all of the cars that i have. from my expy down to my 76 malibu. have not had a problem in any of them . the e85 i would stay away from neither one is compatable with it. you can check out the site to see what cars or trucks are compatable at www.e85fuel.com

There is a sub-forum specifically for alternative fuels.

Please read it. This has been addressed numerous times.
