? start at the left with 1 and then count to 8, so in your example it would be "G"
now go to your truck and look in at the corner of the windshield, or on the door frame and see what the 8th digit of your VIN is, "V" or "5"
Doesn't everything run E85? I thought they kept the ethanol at 10% or less to run on all unleaded vehicles.
it might run in everything, but Not well. E 85 is 85% ethanol.which has higher octane but lower energy density, so it takes more flow rate to make the same power output as gasoline. The flex fuel vehicles are set up to deal with this.
Another issue is the ethanol is hard on rubber so if you try to use it in anything with older formulas of runner the hoses and oI rings might break down faster.

I think where I was confused is that here in Canada we don't have many, if any, dedicated E85 pumps. All of our regular unleaded contains 10% or less ethanol.

Most gas in the us is 10% as well unless you look for specifically non ethanol gas.
I think 85 is more common in the corn belt and is a product of the govt subsidizing corn....as I think it costs less than gasoline there but when you see it out west here it costs more than regular
I just recently changed to the champion double platinum they are a one piece design that won’t break on removal and takes a standard 5/8 spark plug socket
From: In the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Replacement plugs will be Motorcraft SP546, genuine ones. I did mine, I had purchased Lisle 65600 kit, but upon removal, that plug #8 way back under the cowl came out leaving the lower barrel AND porcelain in the hole. #2 had broken also but the porcelain broke too and the Lisle 65600 kit cleared it easy peasy. That #8 was a different animal. I researched and ordered a Lisle 65710 porcelain puller that evening, overnight shipping, it was here next day. I works with the aluminum tube in the 65600 kit, it had me taken care of in minutes. Together, the two kit numbers combined are the Lisle 65700 kit. I'd still buy one before tackling the job. I have a '08 Mustang that will use the same kit some day, so it's a welcome addition. I also have a OTC spark plug socket with universal and strong magnet that helped hugely. No scopes used, I just put a 1/4" ID hose on my blow gun, stuck it in the plug hole, and blew them out. Only way for air to escape is back past the hose, so wear goggles.
