Frequently asked questions
COMPATIBILITY FAQs
Your vehicle can only burn E85 flex fuel if it is configured to do so. By installing one of our kits, your vehicle will become compatible with E85.
However, we do not offer our kits for all vehicles. To see if we have a kit for your vehicle, please use the year/make/model lookup tool on the home page.
NOTE: If we don’t have a kit for your vehicle, don’t give up! Let us know your vehice make/model/year and VIN and we will research it for you - click the “Can’t Find My Vehicle” link on the homepage to get started.
Our kits can not be added to any diesel engine, any engine with a carburetor (most vehicles built before 1986 are carbureted), or engines that have a mechanical fuel injection system instead of an electronic fuel injection system (not common). Additionally, eFlexFuel products are not currently compatible with many direct injection engines, but we are going to release a new version of our product that will work with many direct injection engines in 2021.
Product-Related FAQs
All eFlexFuel kits make your vehicle E85 flex fuel capable, meaning your vehicle can run on gasoline, E85, or any mixture of the two. Our kits are bolt-on, warrantied for 5 years, and easily removed if you decide you no longer want flex fuel capability (our kits do not make any permanent changes to your vehicle).
Best of all, whenever you install one of our flex fuel conversion kits, you’re helping the American farmer and decreasing your carbon footprint. Ethanol is produced from homegrown corn in the United States, and because it’s refined from corn it’s a renewable resource. Nothing wrong with any of that, right?
Our eFlexEco kit costs $649. But first, let’s make sure your vehicle is compatible with one of our kits - visit our year-make-model lookup tool to see what we have available for you!

It’s actually against federal law to void a warranty for use of an aftermarket part. The Magnuson-Moss warranty act, enacted in 1975, makes it illegal for auto manufacturers to void a warranty simply because the owner of the vehicle adds an aftermarket product. The law states that unless the manufacturer can prove the problem was caused by an aftermarket part, they have to repair the vehicle.

INSTALL AND TUNING FAQs
Probably yes, assuming you have some tools and some experience with automotive maintenance and repair. Installing one of our flex fuel conversion kits is about as difficult as replacing a fuel filter and installing an engine tuner. Most people need 2-3 hours to install an eFlexFuel kit, only more experienced DIY'ers can be done in an hour or less. Of course, installation difficulty varies from vehicle to vehicle.
As far as tools, you just need basic hand tools (screwdrivers, socket set, etc.) and a multimeter.
Every eFlexFuel shipment includes an installation manual. You can also find installation videos on our website here. If you have a question about installation or some sort of problem, our customer service team is available by email or phone during normal business hours. Just contact us.
If you’d rather not do the install yourself, expect to be charged for 2-3 hours of labor to have the kit installed. Any reputable shop should have no trouble with the install, and our customer service team is available to professional installers as well.
In most situations, the answer is no to all of the above. If you have a heavily modified vehicle, you may want to upgrade your injectors and/or your fuel pump, and in very rare situations you may even need to upgrade your fuel lines. However, 99% of the people who buy one of our kits do not need to modify their fuel system whatsoever (beyond installing our kit of course).
If you have questions about your vehicle, please don't hesitate to contact us. We have automotive engineers available to answer even the most complex questions, and to confirm compatibility.
Yes. When eFlexFuel is installed, no permanent changes are made to your vehicle. Removal of the system is fairly easy. Furthermore, we can provide a bypass module for short-term use.
However, because our kits make your vehicle Flex Fuel capable, there is usually no need to remove them. If for some reason you can't buy flex fuel, you can fill your tank with regular gasoline with no problems.
FAQs ABOUT EVERYDAY USE
It depends on your vehicle and your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
By default, most manufacturers recommend a shorter oil change interval on vehicles that run E85 flex fuel. However, this is also true for vehicles that drive in extreme hot or cold, drive in stop-and-go traffic, or that are used to haul or tow on a regular basis. So, assuming you're already following the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for severe duty/severe use, your oil change interval won't be any different. Otherwise, you’ll want to adjust your maintenance schedule to whatever the manufacturer recommends for E85.
Finally, the eFlexFuel capability system itself is completely service-free and designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. You do not need to do anything to maintain your eFlexFuel kit.
Yes. Most people who have installed our kit do not report trouble with cold start. But if you live in colder winter temperatures (less than 35°F) and you’re experiencing issues, we recommend taking the following steps:
- Use an engine block heater.
- Fill up with 10% or more gasoline to lower the ethanol content.
- Make sure that the engine is well maintained and, in particular, the ignition components and spark plugs are in normal working condition.
Yes indeed. You will get a Type Approval Sticker delivered with the eFlexFuel kit which indicates that your vehicle is EPA compliant.
FAQs ABOUT E85 AND GAS
Absolutely! All eFlexFuel kits add flex fuel capability - they do not take any options away. You are free to fill your vehicle's fuel tank with E85 today, gasoline tomorrow, or a mix of both. This is because our kits make your vehicle a fully automatic flex-fuel system. Our eFlexFuel technology automatically adjusts the fuel map and engine timing to run optimally on any fuel blend.
Fuel economy is very hard to predict, but generally speaking most people see a decrease in fuel economy when running their vehicle on E85. The decrease may be just a few percentage points, or it may be as much as 25% - the specific amount is determined by the amount of ethanol in your fuel. People who mix gasoline and E85 are often able to reduce their fuel spending without reducing fuel economy, while people running E85 only report 15-25% lower fuel economy.
However, in situations where the fuel economy decreases 25%, most people still find that they spend less money on flex fuel than they would on regular gasoline. This is because flex fuels are significantly cheaper to buy than gasoline. And if you install any of our kits, you will have the option to tune your engine for the highest possible fuel economy .
Finally, it's important to note that E85 can have anywhere between 51% and 83% ethanol. Depending on the mixture, you may find that your vehicle gets nearly the same MPG running flex fuel as it does running regular gasoline.
NOTE: It is possible to mix gasoline and E85 to create your own optimal mixture. When the fuel is about 50% ethanol, most people report a very slight reduction in fuel economy and a substantial cost savings.
Almost always yes. In most places in the US, flex fuels like E85 are significantly cheaper than regular gasoline - anywhere between 20% and 40% less costly. So even if your vehicle gets fewer miles to the gallon burning flex fuel, you could still save money. Also, because E85 is always over 100 octane and clean burning, it's more comparable to premium or supreme gasoline than it is to regular gasoline in terms of performance and cleanliness.
Finally, if you really want to maximize your fuel savings, you can try mixing E85 and gasoline to achieve a mixture that's 50% ethanol and 50% gasoline. All of our kits will recognize the mixture and automatically adjust to maximize your vehicle’s fuel efficiency - you don’t have to do anything other than fill your tank.
