The United States and Brazil are the leading countries in the use of ethanol fuel. Brazil is a global leader in ethanol production and consumption, with many vehicles in the country running on ethanol blends. In the United States, ethanol is commonly used as an additive in gasoline.
Yes, corn can be used to produce ethanol which can then be blended with gasoline to create a biofuel called ethanol fuel. This blend is commonly used in the United States and other countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
Some with older cars don't notice a difference when combining ethanol with gasoline. 10% ethanol mixed with gasoline is a safe amount to use for perfect results.
Typically, pilot gasoline contains around 1-2% ethanol. The percentage may vary depending on the specific regulations or fuel blends in use.
Unless this is a Flex Fuel vehicle you should not use E85 and should use only gasoline with 10% or less Ethanol. There is no additive to help.
E85 is an ethanol blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. It is primarily used as fuel for flex-fuel vehicles, which are designed to run on a range of ethanol-gasoline blends. E85 is considered a renewable fuel source and offers certain environmental benefits, but its use may result in reduced fuel efficiency compared to gasoline.
the engine in a 84 ford laser is not ethanol compatible & will run like a sack of crap if you use fuel that contains any ethanol
The heartland is sometimes use to describe the midwestern regions of the united states
The 1994 Subaru Legacy was designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline. It cannot use diesel fuel or biodiesel fuel in its engine !! The most available alternative fuel in the US for gasoline is ethanol. This engine should easily tolerate ethanol up to a 10% ethanol/90% gasoline blend. You should be careful about using ethanol in high concentrations because it can be corrosive to some engine parts. Therefore, you should not use high ethanol content blends (like E85) unless you engine is designed for it. Another reason not to use ethanol in high concentrations is that it contains less power per gallon than the gasoline that it replaces. Using it in high concentrations will substantially reduce the performance of your car. In the future, you may be able to use butanol as a substitute for gasoline. It has several advantages over ethanol such as... - Almost the same power content as the gasoline it replaces. - Not corrosive. Unfortunately, ethanol wins hands down when it comes to which one is cheaper to make. Butanol is currently more expensive than the gasoline it replaces. That may not remain the case much longer. Look for technological advances in producing butanol that should reduce its price to be competitive with ethanol.
"Yes. There is 10-15% ethanol in all grades of gasoline". Wrong, the legal limit for ethanol in conventional gasoline has always been "up to 10%" maximum (E10) -The EPA did just approve a new gas type called E15, but this is only "approved by the EPA" for use in on-road vehicles from 2007-onward - Note: Not a single engine manufacturer aprroves or warranties gas that contains over 10% ethanol. Ethanol can be (usually is) added to all grades of fuel -A few states aloow premium to be ethanol-free, but so not guarantee it...
Open the fuel door and look for a sticker. Most will use regular unleaded gasoline that is no more than 10% ethanol.
Some gas stations may offer ethanol-free gasoline, typically labeled as "pure" or "clear" gasoline. These stations are often independently owned and not part of major chains. It's recommended to check with individual stations or use online resources to find locations that offer ethanol-free gasoline.
