Can the Yaris run on E85? Anybody try it?

[yaris9876]

I have used it many times in South Dakota area and no problem. There is usually a gallon of regular gas when I put it in.... no sweat.....the alcohol should clean injectors a little bit.

btw 310K on my 07 Yaris hatch. NO BULL

Like he said, to see what the difference was... I tried that too some time back, did maybe 3 tanks on pure 95RON, checking on fuel economy, spark advance, and butt dyno, and ended up with approximately 0% improvement over the regular E10 91RON :shrug:

I would love to run a tank of no ethanol just to see.........................

*Not really comparable but my lawn mower/snow blower guy recommends Marine Stabil fuel, the blue one, for mowers and blowers. Removes, neutralizes the ethanol.

If you want to run E85 after you upgrade fuel pump, fuel lines and injectors and fuel filter and it get it tuned. Is that true that you can go back and forth between E85 and 93 Octane as long as you finish using all the fuel before switch back and forth.

That is correct. You would have to run an aftermarket standalone to tune it though, as it would be a bear to keep the stock ECM from trying to trim the extra fuel from a piggyback.

For those still interested in this older thread, if there is a location that sells non-ethanol fuel, give it a try sometime. After doing your calculations, you can decide if using the non-ethanol fuel would be beneficial.

Around my location, which is near the coast, the "marine" fuel (E-0 or pure gas) I use in my Yaris gives me about 3 MPG more on average per tank.

Marine and aircraft fuel will bring a ticket and fine if caught.
Road tax is not collected on those at least in Michigan, so it's risky.

yes it can run on E85 without any problem..with all that rust etc bull shit people are saying, cut it out man..

in asia a lot of Yaris or Yaris sedan convert to E85 with the E85 conversion kit..

please look at my E85 All Motor Build..I am still working on my car but I will be converting to E85 next week..
-1jz injectors (280cc...current 1nz 200cc / need about 30% larger injectors..its not a must thing but im going to chip tuning)
- E85 conversion kit which comes right over the 1jz injectors
- Advance time & ignition ECU for E85 (dyno/tune)

@nortonfb: I was unaware that non-ethanol fuel was such an issue in Michigan. Here in Georgia, gas stations proudly announce with banners that their station has "non-ethanol" fuel. I believe the non-ethanol fuel is taxed here, though.

The "marine" fuel here is used by auto enthusiasts, boaters, and lawn care services for the most part.

@ rabbito: I am actually interested in your E-85 conversion. I hope to hear more about it after your conversion next week.

I've used no ethanol gas in my Tacoma.didnt notice any better mileage or it ran any better.my scangauge didn't show any differences.and I don't think a US spec yaris will run on E85.

[nortonfb]

The issue isn't the type of gas but the road tax. After all the state must be paid.

Hey! Reviving an old thread.

My country (Costa Rica) will start mixing 10% ethanol 90% unleaded. I read my owner's manual (2007 yaris sedan base US model) and it says that Toyota recommends the use of maximum 10%, which is good.

Will this cause any damage to the engine?

Pump gas here in the US have been adding 10% ethanol for years now. I have seen no ill effects on any of the cars I had during that time. You should be good.

[zoidberg444]

Here in the UK i think some of the supermarket fuel is as high as 15% ethanol. Even the regular stuff the petrol stations sell is 5 or 10% ethanol. I think regular unleaded is better but i don't think it will do your vehicle any particular harm.
