E85
Can the H3 run on E85? I know the colorado with same engine is listed as a flex fuel vehicle. A gas station near my house is going to start to sell the stuff. My explorer can run on it dono if the H3 can.

Re: E85
Ok, this has become a strange issue for me. I don't know about the H3 running on E85, but at the Chevy dealer I just went to, there were many new Tahoes, Yukons, and Escalades that said, on the the delivery sticker, may use up to E85 blends. I told the salesman he was full of sht until I read it myself, and found it in the product manual. Only the 5.3L and Denalis would do it with the 6.2L I think it was. The 4.8L engine wouldn't run on E85. So this question will have to go back to FStop. If you put E85 in your H3 and it didn't specifically say so somewhere, you will probably void your warranty rights if something goes arwy.

Re: E85
My take is no. that would be a huge selling point if it did.

Re: E85
My conundrum is: Why are these new GM's running on E85, without flex fuel badging and yellow fuel caps, and why isn't it being advertised?

For one thing, there are so few E85 pumps in the USA I believe I can even count that high. In the state of MI alone, there are only SIX.
In answer to the original question....NO, and I mean NO. Engine is not designed for E85.
Meijer stores in MI might start installing E85 pumps, and just read Walmarts is also considering the installation of E85 pumps. Until there is a infrastructure for E85 vehicles, it is not worth it for GM to make many engines capable of using E85.

Re: E85
F Stop, being a non engineer type, what modifications mst be complete to have a engine run on E85? Why the difference in burning?
