2007 Cadillac DTS Fuel Tank

As the retail price of gasoline increases, some locations in the country are seeing price differentials between regular gasoline and E85 where E85 is selling for substantially less than regular-grade gasoline. One result of this is that some customers have inquired if they can use E85 fuel in non-E85 compatible vehicles.

Use forced air ventilation such as a fan set outside of the trunk, plug or cap any fuel system openings to reduce fuel vapor formation, clean up any spilled fuel immediately, avoid sparks and any source of ignition, and then use signs to alert others in the work area that fuel system work is in process.

Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline or diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
