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.

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
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.

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.
Where does Fred Meyer get its gasoline from?

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.
Can E10 fuel be used in a Nissan Note?
Yes, E10 is safe for the 1.6L Nissan Note 2014 (north america)

Can a Toyota corona with stock engine use e10 fuel?
Hi, there i have a 1985 ST141 Corona with a 2SC leaded engine with 280,000kms on the clock. This motor car is bullet proof. Not a single problem in the 25 years i have owned it. Always kept the motor oil clean and used a lead replacement additive to each fill up. Been using one brand of e10 which is 95 RON. Engine runs like a watch on this fuel with no issues at all. No pinging or side effects to the fuel system. Carbi and rubber components are unefected. It doesn't like 91 e10 fuel at all. Fuel consumption went through the roof and power was noticeably down. Remember to retard the engine timing for lower rated RON fuels. I have set it at 5 deg BTDC. Loves Liberty e10 and is well priced. MOTOR MECHANIC for 26 years.
