Stupid question about flex fuel

[Bagherra]

I ran my VIN thru a decoder and it says E85 MAX.
Im assuming that I can use E85?

Thanx for ya'lls patience

 

[Fless]

Yes, likely, but what's the 8th digit of your VIN?

So far as I can tell, NOT E85 compatible.
Keep it under E15 ...

 

[Fless]

"J" signifies an L86 6.2L non-FF gasoline engine.

These are the RPO codes for your truck. Check out code FHO. I do not think you will have a yellow gas cap or sticker inside the fuel door if yours is capless. What this means is that the engine is capable of running E85 only if you add the alcohol content sensor and activate the tables in the computer. Don't run low octane fuel or E15/88 either. That high performance 6.2 needs 91+ octane or straight E85. Puerto Rican truck eh?

I bought used from a Toyota dealer and i think the Carfax said it was from Florida. No gas cap and i just checked and dont have sticker in gas door.

 

[Bagherra]

Thanx yall!!!

 

[NYBRD]

Thanx yall!!!

No sticker prob means not e85 ready ...yet... I added the sensor and had BBP turn on e85 tables

 

[Bagherra]

Tell me more of this sensor and tables gettin turned on please..

E85 worth the trouble of adding a sensor and getting tables turned on?

it can be done the plug-n-play e85 sensor kit is about $300, plus whatever the tune would cost.
but otherwise they stopped offering the e85 option about 2015 because the CAFE credits they got for it were no longer any good to trade or sell. So it was not worth there effort anymore to allow e85.
you might be able to find a sensor setup for less but it will require modifying to install.

Cost me about 130 bucks maybe in parts, and asked my tuner from BBP to let the car run on e85
