The Caravans with the "Flex-Fuel" capability can run on both. The injectors
(Green color designation from DC) use different seals as well as the sending
unit. I'll dig more into the specifics for ya.
I remember when CA was testing out the alternative fuel back in the late
80's/early 90's....you needed a special card to purchase the fuel, but it
definitely was cheaper. You can bet the Oil companies had something to say
about it as it didn't last long - just disappeared.

Subject: DML: Re: Fuel cheap
I know the 3.3L in my dad's Voyager can take E85, but I don't personally
have experience with it, or know anyone who does.
Which actually leads me to an "offshoot" question: what makes an engine
"Flex-fuel"-capable? How would one make a non-"Flex-fuel" engine run on
alternative fuels?
I'm curious because there have been some pretty off-the-wall things people
have made engines run on in the past, but all of these that I can recall
have made it impossible for that engine to run gasoline, once modified. It
would appear, however, that "Flex-fuel" engines can still run ordinary gas?
