On the video above, the topic was, can you put E85 in a non E85 car or truck to save money on fuel cost at the pump? The short answer is NO! E85 is 85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline. Vehicles that can run E85 have hoses, o rings and plastics that can work with the corrosive nature of E85. On top of the already listed things. The engine computer has programing to work with E85, the fuel injectors are different and the fuel system has extra sensors to gauge how much Ethanol is in the fuel tank. The big picture, only use E85 if you vehicle has the yellow E85 marking at the fuel filler neck. E10 is the normal Arizona summer blend. (10% Ethanol and 90% Gasoline) Some states use E15 or E20. Non E85 vehicles can run E10 & E15 safely. E20, E50 & E85 will cause damage over time to your vehicle. Saving a couple of bucks at the pump today has the potential to cost you more in repairs later.

A/C Sealants from a DIY A/C service kit did this. The owner of the car said his A/C just stopped. Later the owner admitted he had used 3 cans of sealant trying to fix the A/C on the cheep.

What is the service assistant? It is an interactive web page that we can use to help the client understand more about the repairs we may need to do on a vehicle. Visit the page and look around. Learn more about the vehicle you drive, and how everything operates.

A note to visitors of this blog: All pages and blog posts are created without the use of AI. I know that it may be crazy to think that in this day and age, to not use AI is insane. AI can not replace me. I am a automotive technician and I will never have to fear that a computer program can replace me. For too long, work trades have been looked down upon as jobs for young people out of high school. I say, embrace the trade jobs. Plumbers, construction workers, mechanics, electricians, and many other occupations that need a human to do work are on the rise. AI has it’s place and can be very useful, but don’t expect it to ever change your oil.
