Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs)

• The government is aggressively pursuing the use of “Flexible Fuel Engines,” which would expand the use of biofuels to power vehicles.

• Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs) are adapted models of vehicles that can run on gasoline as well as doped gasoline with different amounts of ethanol blends.

About Flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV):

• Flex-Fuel Vehicle is an alternative fuel vehicle that comprises the internal combustion engine which runs on more than one fuel.

• A flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) or dual-fuel vehicle (colloquially called a flex-fuel vehicle) is an alternative fuel vehicle with an internal combustion engine designed to run on more than one fuel, usually gasoline blended with either ethanol or methanol fuel, and both fuels are stored in the same common tank.

• Flex-fuel vehicles are distinguished from bi-fuel vehicles, where two fuels are stored in separate tanks and the engine runs on one fuel at a time, for example, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), or hydrogen.
