Yes it does. In very cold conditions (below 32 °F), E85 may occasionally require an extra starting attempt. However, most vehicles start just like they would on regular gasoline.
Every eFlexFuel kit includes a built-in cold start system, tested and proven in extreme Finnish winters down to -22 °F.
To ensure reliable starts, consider these helpful suggestions:
- Inspect your ignition system—fresh spark plugs and well-maintained components make a noticeable difference.
- Use an engine block heater to keep your engine warm and ready.
- Add 5–10% gasoline to improve cold starting in freezing conditions.
