Flex fuel

E85 ethanol conversion - certified flexfuel reprogramming

E85 reprogramming is an ideal solution for using a more economical and environmentally-friendly fuel. By adjusting your vehicle's ECU to ethanol, you can drive on bioethanol while improving engine performance. Unlike ECUs (although these are still effective), engine reprogramming for petrol is more durable and safer. Find out more about our petrol engine reprogramming services for E85, our ethanol reprogramming prices and the compatibility of E85 vehicles using our configurator, to reduce your fuel costs and emissions.

Fuel

E85, ethanol, Flexfuel?

Bioethanol is a biofuel produced from plants rich in sugar (beet, sugar cane) or starch (maize, wheat). E85 fuel, also known as superethanol, is a blend of biofuel and petrol.

Ethanol reprogramming, often referred to as ethanol conversion or e85 flexfuel, represents a technological advance for drivers of e85-compatible vehicles (only available for petrol vehicles, not diesel vehicles) who want to adopt a more ecological and economical driving style. This method adjusts the engine 's operation to enable it to run on bioethanol, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving the car's performance. Superethanol reprogramming or ethanol e85 reprogramming optimises the operation of e85-compatible vehicles.

In short, E85 fuel offers an attractive alternative to SP95, SP98 or E10, both environmentally and economically, for drivers who want to reduce their impact on the environment while enjoying high performance driving.

Technology

How do I convert my vehicle to e85 flexfuel?

Ethanol conversion can be carried out on most petrol vehicles with indirect or direct injection engines. There are two main methods for converting your engine to run on bioethanol.

Electronic ECU reprogramming

E85 conversion involves modifying the parameters of the engine management ECU to optimise the operation of the injection and ignition systems according to the fuel used. This is the most effective and economical solution. If your vehicle is not compatible, you can turn to a conversion box.

The advantages of bioethanol conversion

Ecology Ecology

converting to biethanol means using a predominantly renewable fuel that reduces consumption and dependence on fossil fuels. Its production is more environmentally friendly than that of petrol. Driving on ethanol reduces polluting emissions by an average of 50%. Turning to bioethanol also means supporting local agriculture and the French economy.

Savings Savings

The price of E85 is around half that of petrol. Even allowing for a 20% increase in fuel consumption, choosing this solution is still worthwhile. For a car with an average consumption of 7 litres/100 km and driving 20,000 km a year, the saving is around €1,000. The return on investment from the conversion is therefore achieved in just a few months.

Flexibility Flexibility

The advantage of converting to biethanol is that you can drive with a clear head. You don't have to worry about finding a station that offers E85. Flex-fuel conversion makes your vehicle compatible with ethanol, petrol or a mixture of the two fuels, in any proportion. Your vehicle's lambda sensors enable it to adapt automatically to the chosen fuel.
