What else can I help you with?
Can a car run solely on pure ethanol?
Yes, a car can run solely on pure ethanol, but it may require modifications to the engine to optimize performance. Ethanol is a renewable fuel source that can be used as an alternative to gasoline in some vehicles.
Is ethanol combustible?
Yes, ethanol is combustible and can be used as a fuel in engines and for heating purposes. It is a renewable biofuel that is produced from plant materials, such as corn or sugarcane.
Can not be used to produce gasohol?
Diesel fuel cannot be used to produce gasohol as gasohol is a blend of gasoline and ethanol. Diesel fuel is used in diesel engines while gasohol is typically used in gasoline engines. Mixing diesel fuel with ethanol to produce gasohol would not be compatible for engine operation.
Is ethanol a type of alcohol fuel?
Yes, ethanol is a type of alcohol fuel that can be used as an alternative to gasoline in engines. It is commonly used as a renewable fuel source in vehicles, especially in countries with biofuel mandates.
Why is important to turn off the Bunsen burner when you were heating the ethanol?
Because Ethanol is flammable
Does ethanol affect or damage car engines?
E-85 will if the engine is not designed for it. Normal 15% ethanol gasoline mixtures are safe on all engines.
Why is catalyst used in modern car engines?
To reduce unwanted or potentially environmentally harmful emissions.
Can a Wankel engine run on ethanol?
Yes, a Wankel engine can run on ethanol. Ethanol is a popular alternative fuel for internal combustion engines, and it can be used in Wankel engines with modifications to the fuel system to handle the different properties of ethanol compared to gasoline.
Is petrol used in a car engine gives off exhaust fumes useful or harmful?
Harmful, because petrol fumes are produced by various engines that are considered to be harmful. Also, they pollute the environment.
Petrol used in a car engine is it useful or harmful?
Used properly where it was intended to be used for gasoline powered engines is useful. Breathing gasoline vapors to get high is harmful not mention stupid.
What is burnt in an internal combustion engine of a car to release energy for the car to move?
Gasoline or diesel. In some rare engines ethanol is burned, of a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. Coming up with this answer would've been easier than posting this question here. If this is for your homework, then try actually using your brain, that's what this is about. Not wether you finished it or not.
Are car engines pulleys?
yes car engines are pulleys
Can existing car engines be adapted for ethanol fuel?
Your car can safely run on fuel that is up to 10% ethanol. To run E85 which is 85% ethanol your car must be modified. It can be done but it would be very expensive to make all the changes necessary. Ethanol is a solvent and will destroy common rubber seals and gaskets used in cars not designed to run it. It is highly corrosive to aluminum and other parts in an engine. And besides, why would you want to burn ethanol. Ethanol has less energy than gasoline so your fuel mileage will drop around 20 to 30%. If you are getting 30 mpg with gasoline you will get around 24-25 with Ethanol. You will also have less power burning Ethanol. And it takes corn and other food sources to make Ethanol. That causes the price of corn to go up costing us more for food products containing corn.
What does not produce gasohol?
Diesel fuel does not contain ethanol and therefore does not produce gasohol. Gasohol is a blend of gasoline and ethanol, typically containing 10% ethanol. Diesel fuel, on the other hand, is used in diesel engines which do not mix with ethanol.
Why can't all engines use ethanol?
Modern engines can run some Ethanol. Modern gasoline engines are now set up to run E10, which is a mixture of 10% ethanol. To use higher percentages like E85, which is 85% Ethanol, engines need appropriate seals, hoses and engine settings (timing, etc.). Vehicles set up to run E85 have been selling for a number of years and are sold as "Flex Fuel" vehicles. Such vehicles have a fuel sensor in the fuel line to monitor the mix of gasoline and ethanol present and adjust the engine appropriately for the fuel being used. Either all gasoline can be used or any mixture of ethanol up to 85% ethanol (E85). Running E85 in a vehicle not set up for this mixture will damage seals and fuel lines.
How much ethanol is in regular gasoline?
In regular gasoline, there is no ethanol. If the pump indicates the gasoline is E10, it contains 10% ethanol and by law it should be indicated by a sticker on the pump. Some states mandate all pump fuel to have ethanol. Most recent auto engines can handle E10 gas, but it should be avoided for marine applications. E10 gas can damage engines not designed for it.
Can your 2006 dodge caravan use ethanol?
If equipped with the 3.3L, it can use E85. All other engines are only allowed up to 10 percent ethanol.
