I used e85 gasoline instead of regular fuel. would that damage my car. It is a 2009 yaris

A flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) or dual-fuel vehicle (colloquially called a flex-fuel vehicle) is an alternative fuel vehicle with an internal combustion engine designed to run on more than one fuel, usually gasoline blended with either ethanol or methanol fuel, and both fuels are stored in the same common tank
Flex-fuel vehicles can run on gasoline like every other car, or a mix of gasoline and ethanol. E85 contains 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.

A Flex fuel vehicle is one which can use E85 Ethanol fuel. This fuel has 15% alcohol and is more corrosive than basic Gasohol. This is a newer name for using 2 types of gasoline. It does not apply to leaded fuels.

Flex fuel may also be vehicles using a compressed liquid gas and gasoline. These types use gasoline to start and switch automatically to the second fuel system. There were older names for these systems.

There are systems which operate strictly on compressed liquid gas. Hybrids are those using electric and gasoline.

This particular filter is just an example of the fuel filter for an '02 GMC Yukon XL. The link I've provided is specifically for regular unleaded fuel. If your Yukon is a "Flex Fuel" (can use either unleaded or E85 gasoline) the specific filter/part number will be different. Otherwise the filter itself looks exactly the same. And if you're not certain, the filter should be located along the driver side inner frame rail...below the driver's seat.
Good luck

The only solution I can offer is temporary and could help you at least pass inspection.

• When you fuel tank is near empty.
  
• Fill your car with 3 Gallons regular gasoline and 3 Gallons E85 gasoline.
• Erase the error codes and drive around for a little while.
  
• Then get the inspection done.
  
• After you pass inspection fill the car the rest of the way with regular gasoline.
  

WARNING: This is a last resort effort. Prolonged use of Ethanol (E85) in engines not designed for it can deteriorate rubber fuel lines, oxidize aluminum, and dry gaskets causing them to crack.

No 1996 vehicle uses E85
That product wasn't even thought of or
available until a few years ago
The is 85% Alcohol & will ruin your entire fuel system
The car wasn't designed for that fuel,no idea why you
would even go there,just silly

I wouldn't think so. Flex fuel was developed after the car was built.
You could check with Chrysler or Mitsubishi to make sure.

98 was the first year chrysler introduced an E85 compliant minivan. This only applies to the 3.3 liter engine. The 3.8 liter is NOT compatible.

We have a 99 and this is what we found. It ends up costing us more to run E85 than regular fuel. E85 is less efficient and will decrease your fuel economy 25-30%. Currently the price offset does compensate for this and as a result you will fill up more often and will not see a significant savings after the math is done.

Chrysler also recommended, at the time, to use a special E85 compliant oil which also costs more money. You can check with your local chrysler dealer to see if this is still true.

E85 needs special fuel lines and and all rubber/plastic seals and o-rings must be replaced with versions which are E85 compliant. The ignition timing needs to be altered (easy) as does the ignition advance curve (likely difficult). You may also need a different grade of spark plug and possible changes to the carb jetting (very difficult to get right without access to a dynamometer equipped rolling road).

In short, unless you're having a major rebuild incorporating E85 from the outset and you're happy to experiment with various settings then avoid using E85 altogether as it can cause significant damage. On vehicles certified for use with E85 it's no problem at all.

drain the tank change the fuel filter motor will be fine
it'll run funky until the e85 is flushed out
