I'm military so I just moved to Nebraska. Originally I'm from TN so we don't have this midrange fuel that has ethanol in it. I'm liking the cheaper price but will it hurt my 94' Ram if I use it exclusively? I bet some other people out that wonder about this as well..

Thanks,

If you're talking about E10 (10% Eth. 90% Gas), then it will be fine. If you're talking about E85, then do not use it. 85% ethanol will eat away at the fuel system unless the engine is made specifically for it. I'm pretty sure the only Ram engine that E85 compatible is the newer 4.7L V-8. Even if the vehicle is mad for it your MPG goes down alot. My old taurus was flex fuel and i tried it and my MPG went from 21 to 16. Not much of a cost savings in the long run...

 

Exactly, anything more than 10% is a no-no.

 

If you want to experiment with E85 on a 1995 model year Ram
you probably need to replace your fuel line from tank to injector rail
with an aftermarket one with a PTFE lining.

The recent 4.7V8 Flex Fuel Rams have a PTFE lined hose to resist the high
alcohol content in E85.

Your old 1995 fuel line may need replacement soon anyway
as there have been past posts where the inside of this line begins breaking up into black sandy pieces that clog the screens inside the fuel injectors.

E85 fuel needs a different air to fuel ratio. You can get part way to this by replacing your 1995 'fuel pump module' with a model year 1996 fuel pump module. The 1995 unit has a regulator designed to put out a minimum of 35 psi, but the 1996 unit regulator went up to 43.5 psi.

There are professional companies that sell E85 conversion kits:

but if it were me I would go with an aftermarket EFI computer like the 'open source' MegaSquirt or the FAST.....these allow you to set up for nearly any fuel with both economy and maximum power settings
