Fuel For the Raptor

Just FYI the trucks ARE E85 compatible also.

You better be a ford engineer if you think you can go toe to toe with me on engine management, fuel injection, forced induction, and tuning. I've personally broken proprietary bus protocols and reverse engineered reflashing protocols.


Assuming you actually know what a knock sensor measures and know what knock actually is, I want you to re-read what you typed:

And it definitely will NOT damage your engine because knock sensors pull timing well before you will encounter damage.

Lmao, ya everyone on the internet is a genius.

There's a difference from light detonation to damaging detonation and that is literally is what allows it to do its job. The concept of a knock sensor would be useless if ping caused damage before it had a chance to work.

Go flex your e-peen somewhere else, countless people run 87 octane on Ecoboosts and plenty other FI engines designed for regular unleaded just fine. What's the downside? If it doesn't work well for you, switch fuel.

I ran 93 octane in my other Raptors and will continue with the new one.

Can you post a photo of the Raptors fuel fill inlet?

So would it make more power with e85? Probably not i suppose it would need a tune to distribute more fuel for more power.
We have e10, e85, 87, 89, 91 premium and 93 ethanol.

95 e-30

I'll post a picture when I get a minute. On vehicles that are not E85 compatible the E-85 symbol on the fuel neck ring has a circle with a line through the E-85. On E-85 compatible models the E-85 does not have a circle around it and a line through.

I believe you are correct on that. I think it requires a tune to capitalize on the E-85

Ford's wording in the owner's manual is confusing. "Fuel Quality - E85....Choosing the right fuel - flex fuel vehicle" and "Fuel Quality - Gasoline.....Choosing the right fuel" bleed together as if you can do either. To make it more confusing they have a paragraph titled "Switching between E85 and gasoline" between the two "choosing the right fuel" paragraphs as if all of Ford's engines are E85 compatible. There are no page breaks or any indication that they are talking about two different engine types. So, I can see how an owner would think they can put E85 in their engine designed strictly for gasoline. Ford needs better copy editors.
