Posted in other Escape Hybrid forum. Do not use E85 it will rot out or fuel lines at least. Mark Replies to this message: wisill (Jun 06, 2009 4:23 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 02, 2008 3:31 pm) I don't believe this is totally correct. I have run ethanol blends of up to 30% with no problems on my 2005 FEH. I am aware of other individuals that have run higher blends (05 and 09 versions) with conversion kits for thousands of miles. These individuals can run up to around E50 before the fuel mixture becomes too lean. Higher blends require E85 conversion kits or other modifications.
