Automakers caution drivers not to alter carsROCHESTER, Mich,USA -The Detroit News/Associated Press, by Dee-Ann Durbin -May 23, 2006: -- Automakers said Monday they are trying to get more ethanol-capable vehicles on the road quickly, but warned that consumers in the meantime should not use an E85 ethanol blend in conventional vehicles or try to convert their vehicles to use E85... But representatives from GM, Ford and other automakers warned that any blend with more than 10 percent ethanol can corrode parts on a conventional vehicle... Norbert Krause, director of the engineering and environmental office at Volkswagen of America Inc., said his company even makes technical adjustments depending on whether a vehicle will take a 10 percent or a 22 percent ethanol blend...
