[QUOTE="MarkDawn Houlahan, post: 961266, member: 55949"] It's rated for E-10 use, not E-85. E-85 takes more changes to the car for it to work properly, including the removal of aluminum and rubber parts in the fuel system, remapping the EFI, etc. Only vehicles with Ford's Felxible Fuel Vehicle logo (a green leaf and tree branch arrangement) will work on pure E-85 or a mixture of regular gas and E-85. The Sport Trac is not an FFV vehicle, hence the fuel nozzle does not fit to protect the vehicle from being improperly filled, just like a diesel fuel filler nozzle. The info you got at Ford is incorrect or misinterpreted (it can take E-10). HTH... Mark [/QUOTE]
