Identify your E85 Vehicle.
Today it has become easy to determine if a new vehicle is a Flex Fuel by simply checking the gas cap. All FFVs produced since the 2008 model year have a yellow gas cap to help identify them as a FFV. So what about all the FFVs produced before 2008? Well, there are several different ways to identify if your vehicle can utilize E85.
Look for one of the FFV badges on the exterior of the vehicle, generally located on the rear panel or just in front of the passenger side door.
