akirby Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 It's not designed for anything higher than E15. Could damage the fuel system. If you want higher octane just use race gas additive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 You will have to look at Ford documentation to see if the fuel system is E85 compliant (read resistant to E85). The 2013+ Taurus SHO and probably the whole Taurus line is, so there is a good possibility. So far, E45 is the highest blend tested successfully with the SHO. Reportedly the Continental can take full E85, but tuning is still in progress. The limitation is ultimately providing fuel volume from the intank fuel pump as you increase the E blend, as ethanol, while having higher octane value, has far less energy value (almost 2/3) as that of gasoline.
