USE OF E85 BLENDED ETHANOL FUEL
DESCRIPTION:
E85 fuel is an alternative fuel composed of up to 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel
Vehicles. E85 is not compatible with current Hyundai models. Use of E85 in Hyundai vehicles may result in poor engine performance or a hard or no
start condition, and damage to the vehicle's engine and fuel system.
Hyundai recommends that customers do not use fuel with an ethanol content
exceeding 10 percent. Damage resulting from the use of E85 is not covered under Hyundai warranties.
VEHICLES AFFECTED:
^
This TSB applies to all Hyundai models
SERVICE TIP:
Sample fuel from incident vehicles can be tested with the Fuel Tester Kit (J-48983). Measurements such as the alcohol % concentration and specific
gravity can be made to determine if the grade/type of fuel is correct.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
Vehicle repair expenses caused by usage of E85 blended fuel are not eligible for warranty reimbursement. Repair order must explain this clearly for
customer pay work.
