What will happen to a vehicle that goes from gas with no ethanol to gas with ethanol?
burn your valves up if you run it to long. burns hotter It will continue to function normally. Nothing will happen to the engine. BUT- Ethanol will decrease mileage because it contains less power per molecule than gasoline. I only use it because its less expensive and helps the farmers out. Answer E10 (up to 10% ethanol) is safe and approved for most newer engines. Biggest problem is ethanol readily attracts and absorbs water, has short shelf life, is a strong solvent, degreaser, has lower energy... - Ethanol blends are not suitable for marine engines and long term storage. Higher oxygen content often requires engine modifications. See fueltestkit for more details.
Is ethanol bad on your engine?
Ethanol is primarily used to oxygenate the gas and replace the chemical MBTE, which pollutes groundwater. HOWEVER, since most ethanol in the US comes from corn, it is important to note that using ethanol in gasoline causes GREATER pollution than just gasoline alone. This is because it actually takes more energy to produce corn based ethanol than is extracted from it. Until better technologies for ethanol production are available (e.g. algae), it is best for the environment to avoid gas containing ethanol if possible (some states mandate it). The idea in more recent years was to reduce dependence on foreign oil (most of ours comes from Canada, a smaller proportion coming from the Middle East), but the end result has been an unfortunate upward swing in global corn prices which affects the people who actually use corn as food.
Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
