Is ethanol and water miscible?
Yes it is. Because they are both not polar.
Is 70 percent ethanol the same with 70 percent ethanol?
Absolutely, recent painstaking scientific research has showed that 70% ethanol is the same as 70% ethanol.
Which brand has lowest ethanol?
The brand of gasoline with the lowest ethanol content can vary depending on the region and availability. However, in general, premium gasoline or high-octane fuels tend to have lower levels of ethanol compared to regular or unleaded gasoline. It is always recommended to check the ethanol content specified on the pump or consult the fuel provider for accurate information.
Why ethyl alcohol and water cannot be separated into pure components by fractional distillation?
Due to an effect called the aziotropic effect. Some of the water remains bound to the ethanol raising the BP and getting dragged over with it. The same thing happens with sugars from a wash. Further to this, ethanol is hygroscopic so it will absorb water from the atmosphere when exposed. The best you can do is between 90 - 98% ethanol.
What are some examples of organic compounds?
Benzene, octane, acetone, ethanol, propane, butane, sucrose, caffeine, polyethylene and cellulose are all organic compounds. The last two compounds are in fact organic polymers.
Does sunoco 93 octane contain ethanol?
No
Are there any non ethanol gas stations in Georgia?
I'm asking the same question, just spent $500 (reasonable, too) replacing fuel pump, filter, sending unit due to ethanol deterioration. I know of a Shell station that has "Marine Gas" which is 89 octane non-ethanol, for the price of their 93 octane.
What kind of fuel do you use in a 4 stroke motor?
For area that have 10% ethanol in their gas, its best to use 89 octane. There is less ethanol with higher octane. The 87 octane with ethanol really takes a toll on the float seal, just eats it up. Ethanol tends to have a little more water in the fuel over time. I know several people that use 93 or 94 octane for the mowers. That is over kill and 89 will be fine.
Gasoline to use on a Acura rsx?
RSX - "regular" unleaded with at least 85 octane, no ethanol. RSX type S - higher compression motor, requires 91 octane, no ethanol.
Is ethanol and water miscible?
Yes it is. Because they are both not polar.
What kind of gas should you put in the 2010 challenger srt8?
The highest octane non ethanol gas available at least 91 octane
How do you make E85 fuel?
E85 is manufacture by the petroleum (oil) industry by combine standard 85 octane gasoline with ethanol alcohol. The mixture for E85 is approximately 85% Ethanol Alcohol and 15% standard 85 octane gasoline.
When is gasoline to old?
Gasoline is old after a month. Especially gasoline which contains ethanol. Ethanol looses its octane rating much faster than petroleum.
Can you use regular ethanol in a 1997 z28 Camaro?
yes, you do not need high octane for it run correctly yes, you do not need high octane for it run correctly
What fuel do you use in your lawn mower?
Non-Ethanol 87 Octane Regular Unleaded fuel.
E10 what is the octane rating?
The octane rating of E10 is the same as normal gasoline. However, the problem with ethanol blends is when they become phase separated (water/fuel layers). Since ethanol is hygroscopic (absorbs water) and the octane rating of ethanol approximately 114, what happens is the ethanol will attract to the water and drop the octane level of the gatosoline tremendously. If this happens, I would recommend draining the fuel but if that is not possible I would recommend using an octane enhancing additive such as Eth-Guard to increase the octane rating back up to normal. You can view it here: www.e10gasadditives.com/product_ethguard.html Eth-Guard is safe in all engines and contains no harmful ingredients such as alcohol, MMT, TEL, MTBE or lead. It will lubricate the fuel system, increase the energy level and octane rating of the fuel and prevent phase separation. Also, I would recommend testing gas upon purchase and taking other simple precautions to assure that you're using quality fuel. To view other E10 information visit: www.fueltestkit.com
