To list which additive is the best for E10 gasoline would be doing an injustice to the sheer number of additives there are out there on the market. Most of them are completely useless in E10 because the majority of them contain alcohol or an extremely strong solvent. Instead, to prevent damage from E10 it is important to follow simple precautions such as replacing the fuel often, testing for correct ethanol % upon purchase and installing a decent sized (10 micron or better) water separating filter. However, if all else fails, I'd recommend using an additive such as Eth-Guard to greatly decrease the damage caused by e10 fuels. To view a list of common additives and how safe they are in E10 fuel visit www.e10gasadditives.com/fuel_additive_list.html Eth-Guard is safe in all engines and contains no harmful ingredients. It will increase the energy of the fuel, lubricate the fuel system and prevent phase separation in most applications. Generally, additives are not necessary if simple precautions are taken but if you find yourself in a bad situation, Eth-Guard is a great product to use for most ethanol problems.

What is a mixture of ethanol and gasoline called?

A mixture of ethanol and gasoline is called gasohol or E10. Gasohol typically contains 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline. It is used as a fuel for vehicles that can run on ethanol blends.


Does BP have ethanol?

Yes, BP does offer ethanol-blended fuels at some of its gas stations. BP sells gasoline that contains up to 10% ethanol (E10) at certain locations.


Why there is no 100 ethanol?

most "absolute" ethanol used in the lab is 95% ethanol by volume,this is due to the fact the ethanol is very miscible with water so its difficult to remove all the water that is present in the atmosphere,it is possible to get 100 alcohol but it is an awkward process and generally 95 does the job just fine


How many miles per gallon less with ethanol enhanced gasoline?

Expect around a 15% decline in fuel mileage over conventional gasoline. Ok, so if I'm paying $4.00 / gallon for 10 % ethanol gas and loosing 15 % mileage that means if I can find 100 % gasoline with no ethanol at $4.60 / gallon I'm getting basically the same thing. So if I pay $4.10 / gallon for real gas without ethanol, I just saved $.50 / gallon over the ethanol low output gas. This should make shopping allot easier, as long as the stations are required to post how much ethanol they are selling versus real gas.


How is biomass converted into ethinol?

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol), also known as grain alcohol, is the same 'alcohol' found in all alcoholic drinks. Bioethanol is simply ethanol that has been produced using biological materials (biomass) for feedstocks. Since it relies on sunlight and photosynthesis to contribute to the growth of that biomass (plants, grasses, corn, wheat, etc), bioethanol is a renewable fuel. Bioethanol is made when biomass is converted to sugars, which are then fermented into ethanol. The process of hydrolysis seperates most of the water from ethanol, leaving an end product that is generally about 95% ethanol and 5% water. Bioethanol can be blended with conventional gasoline at any ratio, but the most common blend is E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline, sometimes called Gasohol), which can be used in existing gasoline engines without modifications and without affecting vehicle warranty. Higher blends, such as E85, require a Flexible fuel vehicle (FFV).source: http://www.futurecars.com/futurefuels/bioethanol.html

Can you use ethanol enhanced fuel in your Honda Accord?

Honda does not recommend anything more than 10% ethanol blend. All gasoline now is E10, and Honda says E10 is fine as long as it is the same or higher octane as 100% gasoline. I use E10 in my 1991 Accord with zero problems.


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.

Do cars get better smog results with or without E10 gas?

They do get poorer fuel mileage with E10 so that in itself means the E10 produces more pollution because you use more fuel.


Weight per gallon of e10 gasoline?

E10 gasoline, which is a blend of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, typically weighs around 6 to 6.5 pounds per gallon. The exact weight can vary slightly based on temperature and the specific formulation of the gasoline. Ethanol is lighter than gasoline, so the addition of ethanol slightly reduces the overall weight of the blend compared to pure gasoline.
