I am an ASE Master Auto technician. This was a first. Little over 80% alcohol content in fuel. How does that happen? It was a flex fuel vehicle and customer ran E-85 from Sheets. Was kicking lean codes. Too much alcohol for computer to be able to adjust for. Crazy crap. Dropped tank and sucked out perfectly normal looking fuel. Put 10 gallons of 87 octane in and all is good now.

Wait, flex fuel to E85, but the flex sensor couldn't understand E80? Wouldn't that be a sensor issue?
