E-85 Fuel Safety Advice from TPS Tire and Service Center

Posted June 24, 2015 12:00 PM

Today at TPS Tire and Service Center we want to talk with you about a very important safety issue. This automotive safety warning is coming from a very unusual source: fire fighting experts. You've probably heard of E-85 gasoline being offered in the Brunswick area. Some newer vehicle models are specifically built to run on E-85 – the rest are not.

Does your vehicle use E-85 gasoline? Bring it down to TPS Tire and Service Center at 1640 Industrial Parkway in Brunswick, OH 44212, to find out, or give us a call to make an appointment by calling 330.273.8770.

E-85 gasoline has been developed to fight air pollution and reduce oil consumption. E-85 fuel is a mix of 85% ethanol, a grain-base alcohol, and 15% gasoline. So-called Flex-Fuel vehicles are designed to use either normal gasoline or E-85 gas. The result is lower exhaust emissions to our local Brunswick community.

All gas engines can run with up to 10% ethanol, and in fact a lot of gasoline sold in the Brunswick, OH, area does contain some ethanol. The problem comes when well-meaning residents without Flex Fuel certified vehicles put E-85 into the tank.

At a 15% concentration, the potential for problems arises. Because of the chemical differences between ethanol and gasoline, special seals and gaskets are needed for Flex Fuel vehicles. In a normal engine, the ethanol in E-85 gas will eat away seals and gaskets. This leads to gas and oil leaks.

You Brunswick auto owners can imagine the fire hazard caused by leaking gasoline. OH fire fighting experts caution drivers to only use E-85 if they know their vehicle is certified to handle it. They expect vehicle fires to increase because of using the wrong fuel in non-Flex Fuel vehicles.

As always, TPS did excellent work at a fair price. Also took the time to direct me to a better tire than I requested which was not much more expensive but far better. When they make a suggestion, hear them out because it s not a bid for more work but for a better solution. They won t do unneeded work.
Alan
Tyler does excellent work.

Bradon W.
I work in Brunswick and I was looking for a place to get my car repaired. TPS Tire & Service came up when I googled places in Brunswick. I called and they were able to get my car in the same day. I really had no idea what was wrong with it. When I dropped it off I explained that the problem. The man I spoke to said they would look at it and call me back. They called me back within the hour and explained the issue was brakes and rotors. He also gave me the price quote. They were able to do all the work affordably, and they said it would be done the same day. All of the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. My car feels like new again and I will continue to use them for any future car needs. The service was excellent and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable Business.
Katy M.
I came for the first time to the shop and my first impressions were the shop was very clean and seemed organized. The mechanics waved and smiled even though I never meet them before. Inside I was helped the second I walked in the door with with a smile. I gave them a massive request of work on a short notice and they gave me a quote that was very reasonable for a first time customer and they also were able to complete the work faster than I thought. They even updated me along the way with the progress of the work telling me how well it was going. I was very confident my truck was in good hands. They even recomended the best quality parts for me. Overall a great shop usually the bigger shops don't care about there customers especially young ones I'm a 20 year old boy and they treated me like a paying adult customer and were very professional I liked that. Totally recommend them and will continue to go back.
Brady S.
Everyone I talked to was polite. Total professionals. Squeezed me in when I didn't have appointment to check out 2 tires that had slow leaks.
Scott G.
We take all of our companies vehicles here. Great service and super knowledgeable staff.
Josh S.
I've been a customer of TPS for several years - highly recommend them! Great service technicians, customer service, and very fair prices.
Nancy F.
A few friends recommended I take my vehicle to TPS. They were able to fit me in at short notice. The exhaust system on my car was noisy and in need of repair. Also it litterly fell off when they put it up on the lift. I greatly appreciated the honest opinion on the necessary repairs. Looking forward to bringing my other vehicle by in the future.
