Can I put e85 in my 2.7l?

Hey, I couldn't really find anything but could I put e85 gas in my 16 tacoma with a 2.7l?? Would it run okay?? Im actually just curious. Thank you!

 

No

 

Hell to the No.

 

Did you try looking in that pesky owners manual? I know they take up a lot of space in the glove box and tend to get "misplaced".

 

idiots turning food into fuel...corn free gas is usually 89 octane.

 

Try it out...Let us know what happens.

 

Not sure if anyone makes a tune for it but it could be possible. I imagine you might need to change the injectors to higher cc and perhaps some fuel lines might need to be changed.

Years ago in my Honda drag racing days my high compression engine ran on E85 since it was cheaper than buying race fuel. Hell made more power on e85 too.

 

I only use JP-7 fuel. Hey, if it's good enough for the SR-71 Blackbird, then it's good enough for my lil' taco!

 

no! but you can technically use e15, but i wouldn't recommend it

 

You can only put it in an SR-5....

 

You can put anything in your Taco. Diesel, water, 0W-20.... doesn't mean your engine will run.

Your engine is not designed to run on E85. Look at your user's manual.

To that end, E85 is 85% ethanol. Most "gasoline" sold in the US is E10 (10% ethanol).
Ethanol has a lower energy density (power / unit volume) than gasoline. So, even if your engine could burn E85, you'd need a considerably larger amount of it to do the same amount of work. Getting 20 mpg before? You'll get 12 mpg with E85.
