Good morning guys.
Last summer I changed the motor and transmission in my 2000 ranger and the original one was a flex fuel. (The back of my truck has the little leaf)
The motor I replaced it with was from a Ranger, but the previous owner didn't know exactly what year, and claimed it "was a flex fuel". When I switch everything around there were no extra plugs on the wiring harness, and I believe I replaced the fuel rails, but not the injectors.
With gas prices on the rise I've been considering switching over to e85 but I am a little hesitant because I am not positive if this motor is actually a flex model. Is there any real way for me to be able to tell?
On Thanksgiving I was on Long Island and every gas station seemed to have e85, so I put in like 15 dollars worth, (like four gallons) and I didn't seem to have any issues. I just don't wanna toast another engine but would like to quit paying 75 dollars a fill up.
Thanks
Scott
