#1 of 4 Lincolin Towncar +ethonal? by jrok Apr 30, 2008 (7:36 am)
Ok i have been told by several people not to put ethonal into a towncar, because it will mess up my injectors, the place where i get my gas is 10% eth so i was just wondering what should i do? Pay the regular 3.45 for regular gas or the 3.25 for eth. Will it kill my engine?

Replying to: jrok (Apr 30, 2008 7:36 am) Here is what it says in the 2008 owners manual:   If your vehicle is not a flexible fuel vehicle (FFV), then only use UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 10% ethanol. Your vehicle was not designed to run on E85 fuels that are blended with a maximum of 85% ethanol. Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can damage critical fuel system components.   I don't know what year your TC is but 10% ethanol has been around for years and I use it in all of my vehicles. I have never heard of a problem caused by using it. Replies to this message: aspesisteve (May 08, 2008 9:13 am) brucelinc (May 08, 2008 11:00 am)

Replying to: aspesisteve (May 08, 2008 9:13 am) My response to the person with the question was referring to problems with his car (messing up his injectors) by using ethanol. I am not on this board to discuss higher food prices, politics, or government subsidies. As an aside, there are parts of the country where non-oxygenated fuel is sold only for use in lawn mowers, snowmobiles, antique vehicles, etc. Refusing to use ethanol is fine if they prefer to ride a bicycle (or a riding mower).
