I use E85 or equivalent here in the States without any issue.Hello,
I am French and waiting for my rubicon 4xe (some weeks again argggg)
In France SP98 and SP95 are more and more expensive.
E85 is cheap, and works well in a lot of car. Old wrangler pentastar can be prepared for E85.
Does somebody tried E85 in the 2.0 of his 4XE without modification of the programmation ?
Thanks for your advice.
Chris
Ok, thank you very much for your answer.I use E85 or equivalent here in the States without any issue.
I haven't really had it long enough to be able to answer either of those questions, unfortunately. I've driven mine on a longer trip only once in colder weather but had no data compare it to.Ok, thank you very much for your answer.
Do you use 100% of E85 ? No problem in winter ? Does the consomation increase a lot ?
Thanks
Regular octane is recommended for the 4xe. One advantage over the other Wranglers with the 2.0T that require premium.High compression engines (including ours) usually run way better on premium. Read the manual, it may void your warranty.
85 octane or e85? E85 is 85% ethanol. You know, alcohol, not regular gasoline.I use E85 or equivalent here in the States without any issue.
I would be very hesitant about just a re-tune. Many manufacturers do not put the hardware on the little 2.0L to handle the amount of fuel the engine needs to run properly in e85. Research will have to be done on this if you want to do it. Now saying that, if the hardware is capable, you would be able too up the power in the 2.0L from 270hp to over 350+hp.In France some guys propose a retuned to accept E85. Only new programmation, no mecanic modification.
But I have no return. Does somebody do it ?
Do you use it in Italy on a 4xe ?E85 is good
Good to know that the export versions are not set-up for e85. I was not able to find that info in the US. Running e85 in a non-converted vehicle will result in damage to the entire fuel system. Hoses will degrade and cause contaminants to foul injectors, clog filters and damage the fuel pump.Bonjour,
It is stated very clearly in the 4xe user's manual that e85 is not supported.
I would not risk it.

The US manual also says no E85 (well, technically it says no more than 15% ethanol, which rules out E85)I was not able to find that info in the US.
Sorry, I meant that there was no mention of an option for e85 in the US so I figured it wouldn't be available for export, but I wasn't sure if some countries are now requiring it.The US manual also says no E85 (well, technically it says no more than 15% ethanol, which rules out E85)
