Do hybrid/ethanol running cars have plastic engines?
Title says all, my friend knows someone with a hybrid car that put normal gas in and the engine melted. I was wondering if it was plastic since the gasoline would have melted the plastic.

they are pulling your leg. A hybrid has a normal engine made of metal. Beside, why didn’t the gasoline melt the plastic tank the gasoline was in?
That story is BS. Hybrids use regular engines to charge large batteries to help run the car, that’s all.
A car that can run on ethanol (or an FFV, Flex Fuel Vehicle) is a gasoline engine that has been set up so that it can also use a blend of gasoline and ethanol called E85.
Both use gasoline engines made of either steel or aluminum.
Either you miss-heard or this person has no idea what they are talking about.
