Bonjour
Trouvé sur le net , la Taurus est equipée du meme moteur
The 1998 Ford Taurus is available with an optional 3.0 liter, V6
engine capable of operating on E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline),
unleaded gasoline, or any blend of the two. Ford has offered
an E85 Taurus in its AFV lineup since 1994. These flexible-fuel
vehicles (FFVs) give the driver the convenience of fueling with
gasoline where E85 is not available. A sensor monitors the fuel
composition and sends the information to the on-board computer,
which automatically adjusts the air-fuel ratio to optimize its
performance on the current mix of fuel. The estimated driving
range for the FFV Taurus operating on E85 is 250–340 miles,
and on gasoline it is 340–470 miles. Several design changes were
necessary to allow for operation on alcohol fuels. These changes
include a unique block material, exhaust valve seat inserts, wearresistant
rings, alcohol-compatible fuel injectors specially designed
for high flows, increased volume evaporative canister, a stainless
steel fuel system, and unique engine calibration for ethanol
operation.
Au revoir
