the answer is yes but not recommended.gasoline is much heavier than ethanol.ethanol is used where certain needs of the engine and its use are very different.gasoline in a every day daily driver should only be used for that vehicle using ethanol in a daily will not only cause heavy deposit build up on the valves but cause extreme heat and pressure inside the combustion chambers causing critical stress on the valve train,it can destroy pistons pre-maturellyand inevitably will stress the connecting rods.therefore i would not recommend using ethanol in stock vehicles.high horsepower engines that are designed to withstand above and beyond stock engines well ethanol is good for these engines and should really be used for this purpose.
That ethanol is a "good fuel" is a subjective matter. For instance, it has advantages and disadvantages over typical fossil fuels. Compared to gasoline, ethanol-like most oxygenated solvents-has a much higher upper explosive limit in air (so it burns easier), it burns much cleaner (less pollution), and its feedstocks (including biomass) are more readily available (no underground drilling necessary).
Ethanol is obtained from vegetation, usually the residue of crops like sugar cane, which have traditionally been burnt in the fields. Ethanol and other biofuels and biomass are viable as part of a mix of renewable energy resources, for example, solar, hydro, wind, tidal and geothermal. Ethanol could not replace fossil fuels on its own without destroying forests and taking over land presently used for food crops.
Ethanol is used here in Brazil in nearly pure form (2 to 5% gasoline mixed in it so can not be drunken) for engines and also mixed to 20% in gasoline for car motors that can not burn pure ethanol. Motors here are called Flex, meaning they adjust compression and timing to burn pure gasoline to pure ethanol, and any mixture inbetween.
This is called an eco or green fuel, as it is fermented from mainly sugarcane, distilled several times and sold at gasoline stations as a alternative fuel. Here it is cheaper than gasoline by 30%, cuts gas millage about 10% only, but gives up to 8% more horsepower than pure gasoline. In addition using ethanol, only CO2 and water are the main products after combustion - none of the dangerous gasses that gasoline also creates. Thus besides renewable, it does not cause pollution.
So for a fuel that is renewable, it is a great substitute.
It burns cleaner, however, it produces 1/3 fewer BTU's as gasoline. Meaning, It takes about 1/3 MORE ethanol to go the same distance in your car as gas.
yes
US, and then Brazil produces the most ethanol fuel...nd I'm sure every countries that has ethanol industry would produce ethanol fuel!
does esso premium fuel have ethanol
Ethanol has many considerations as far as its use as an automotive fuel.\: # On the plus side it is a liquid and easily handled in the present transportation and delivery systems. # On the negative side: * Ethanol from food crops removes food from the system * It requires more energy to produce ethanol than the automobile gets out of the ethanol (Crops require fertilization and fertilizers are made using hydrocarbons, ethanol is made by fermaentation, the fermentation products require distillation, the ethanol is a less efficient fuel than gasoline) * Ethanol combustion creates tail pipe emissions of aldehydes and ketones at levels not present in hydrocarbon fuelled autos * There is not enough land to produce enough ethanol fuel while maintaining food production * Ethanol from waste cellulose is not being pursued asa production route
probably ethanol - it is more readily available and vehicles are set up to take it
Ethanol from corn is good. When a truck of corn spills, we pick it up, and the birds clean up after
While you could technically it wouldn't be very good for you.

Ethanol fuel
it is a fuel of geometeriological ethanol
Harrisburg Ethanol free fuel
There are tons. like ethanol from corn.
No
Ethanol (Alcohol)
ethanol
Alternate fuel source, if you get 70% Ethanol and 30% water w/w you have a very good broad spectrum anti- bacterial, ethanol is used in labs as a solvent to dissolve desired compounds from different materials
You don't if the vehicle was designed as a flex fuel vehicle. It can safely burn E85 ethanol. You can burn a mixture of 10% Ethanol in any vehicle.
It is ethanol fuelSugarcane ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel produced by the fermentation of sugarcane juice and molasses.Because it is a clean, affordable and low-carbon bio-fuel, sugarcane ethanol has emerged as a leading renewable fuel for the transportation sector.
