my car is a 1994 its losing close to 30% of its FE potential to E10 what do you think would happen if I stuck E35 in it.

92 Club Wagon 96 Voyager 95 Lumina 94 Lumina 98 Windstar all hosed the fuel pumps on going to E10 what do you think E35 would do to them.

E35 means the fuel is SERIOUSLY hygroscopic. ie Phase separation would take little more than a breath to occur. so what do you think E100 mixed with water would do to your car? because on the very first phase separation thats what your car would be trying to run on. E100 mixed with Water. The gasoline would be separate and floating ON TOP OF the E100 mixed with water.

Yeah it would HOSE your car good. if you got REALLY lucky you would simply hydroloc realize what happened and not attempt to run the car anymore and hopefully not thump your cam shaft or piston rods if that potentially unburnable fluid could not get our your exhaust valves fast enough.

1990 ish cars were NEVER EVER intended to run on E anything but E0

manufacturers claim they can "handle" E10 without damage. NOT ONE manufacturer I know of will rate a normal 1990's vehicle for ANYTHING over E10.
