Brazil uses ethanol powered vehicles since the 80's. Every car manufacted in Brazil must be able to run on gas and ethanol. Here our ethanol is made from sugar kane

@BlackCatRedScarf5 жыл бұрын
Adding 20% on ethanol allows even gasoline engines with modern ECUs to run on ethanol. Certainly not recommend if you don't know what you are doing, but on every racing engine that I opened, there is not difference in terms of wear... Except the gasoline engines got some thicker coal coating on the pistons and cylinders head. Ethanol is a blessing for racing car and much more healthy for people who like to tune cars or work on engines. In Brazil, the price per km can be better than gasoline, but that may vary due to ethanol vs gasoline prices on the pump and the efficiency of the ethanol vs gasoline (engines vary between 60% and 80% of the gasoline milage due to several factors). In US, ethanol isn't exactly a good deal outside the high performance automobiles spectrum.

The Gallons per Acre of land depends a lot on what vegetal you're using as a base for Ethanol. Here in Brazil we make Ethanol from sugarcane, it's fermentation process takes less time and you get about double the amount of fuel/land. Also, we have E-100 ethanol on every fuel pump, great for performance and costs about half the price of gas with about 3/4 of the mileage, so at least a good 85% of new vehicles here come with a flex fuel option (except for diesel trucks and stuffs like that).

Here in Brazil I drive a 34 year old Mercedes which uses ethanol blended gasoline for about 27 years. From 15% in 1992 it has raised to 27% today. Not because I have a option (it's mandatory to gasoline here to have between 25 and 27% ethanol), but despite changes in the fuel hoses and a carburetor diaphragm, I don't have a single issue here. The car was once sat for about 4 months and started right away. The carbon build up is really low, the fuel tank is pristine and the carb actually has zero corrosion. But again, it's a carbureted engine, which I could fine tune it to perform with the same mileage to the european or US fuel. Friends with fuel injected ones blame a 30% drop in fuel efficiency. But my point is: Change your fuel hoses (as I would recommend to any old car driver) to a good ethanol-resistant one, advance your ignition timing a bit, maybe a colder plug and test it. I know it's not better than pure gasoline in overall performance but considering the benefits regarding less pollution, it's a very little compromise. Sad to know it's so expensive to make in the US.

Ethanol does not negatively impact food prices, nor does it take crop space away from other crops. The corn used for ethanol production is "field corn", which is grown for livestock and isn't digestible by humans anyway. The fermentation process consumes the starches and leaves behind nutrients and protein which makes for a more nutritious feed for livestock. You also can't drink ethanol (even before it's mixed with gasoline), as it contains high levels of toxins and other chemicals that are harmful if swallowed.
@Legoguy19795 жыл бұрын
Also, most of the time, at least around here in north western Illinois. We take the corn dust that's in the grain bins and around the other stuff then take it to the ethanol plant. Might as well be used for something rather than being burned off. That's what they used to do to corn dust.
@emptyshirt5 жыл бұрын
Fuel ethanol actually stabilizes food prices. Excess production of feed corn in good years doesn't tank the price of corn because ethanol plants can just run at 100% capacity. In really bad years the ethanol plants run slower and there is still enough corn for the pigs and cows. Caleb, you are wrong about the edibility of field corn though, it can be eaten if it is converted into hominy. Also, fuel ethanol is safe to drink too. You might want to carbon filter it and distill off the methanol, but methanol can be broken down easily by the body if you drink a little of it.

What happens to my car if I mix premium gas with E-85
@joeyphoshowey5 жыл бұрын
If it's not equipped with flex fuel sensors, etc. it'll run poorly if you mix more than 15% ethanol content. The effective octane rating of the fuel in your tank will go up, but your ECM will have to adjust the mass flow from injectors to compensate since ethanol has about 2/3 the combustion energy density of gasoline. BTW most E85 sold at gas stations isnt exactly 85% ethanol. there is always some variance to ethanol content. Some gas stations will have 70% some have 82%, etc. The content matters because fuel maps will need to be calibrated based on how much ethanol is in the fuel mixture.

nothing except better performance. I've run my BMW on full ethynol E85 for almost a year and its fantastic. Those who say otherwise have never used it they just repeat information they hear or read from unreliable sources.

I am super excited for the potential algae biofuel has for the world. It takes less space, can be grown on salt water or waste water, it produces food as a byproduct, it's completely carbon neutral, and it can be used to produce a wide range of fuels from gasoline to jet fuel. I really want to see algae biofuel take off because myself and many other people aren't ready to give up their muscle cars anytime soon.

If you don't have a flex fuel vehicle you don't have the proper rubber seals or plastics. Don't use it.
@Haloruler645 жыл бұрын
Flex fuel isn't an issue of rubber seals, it's an issue of engine management and sensors. Modern fuel systems can support E85 just fine, but they need to be tuned for it.
@ExileXCross5 жыл бұрын
Also most car engines have long switched from fiber/cork gaskets to exclusively multi-layered steel (MLS) gaskets a long time ago to the point where that is more of a falsehood than a truth. To ballpark, If it was made after 2005, chances are that a tune is the issue.

Its possible to run E85. You would have to upgrade the fuel system components and get a tune for it. But if you’re saying just a regular car and the owner tries to put in E85, yeah thats a big hell no. Don’t ever do that.

One other point is that ethanol absolutely demolishes typical engine seals, especially in older vehicles. If you love having a big 'ol puddle of oil in your driveway on a regular basis, use E15. If it wasn't for that fact, it would be a great consideration for a lot of folks.

I modified my 1980 Pontiac LeMans Safari wagon with a 301 and ran E85 and regular half & half, advanced the cam, blocked the heat risers, 160° thermostat, distributor had more timing than the law allows, used my car to haul scrap metal and antiques even with a 2.29 rear end ratio, the smogger carburetor ran way rich so it loved the alky. The only downside was I had to replace every fuel, return, and vapor line imaginable. Got many compliments on the sound of the car like it had a huge cam.

My car gets significantly better gas mileage when I avoid ethanol
@3O2MuStAnG5 жыл бұрын
That's normal as ethanol naturally burns more efficiently than gasoline. You still save money as ethanol is a lot cheaper depending where you live while increasing the power potential of your engine. It's good for the environment, too.

@@3O2MuStAnG I have a turbo kit on a 3.5 VQ Putting 349 down at the wheel. Not only do I get valve chatter during cold start ups with ethanol but sluggish pedal response all around. And although the price is negligible when comparing the two types of gasoline almost all ethanol laced gas in my area is 15%.

OneTT It really does depend where you live. In Australia E10 is the "cheap" fuel and is generally avoided since most cars run like ass on it. E85 on the other hand is fairly uncommon at the pumps and is usually 40-50 cents MORE expensive than petrol.

@@atomicmillenial9728 is it a question of whether the cars poor performance on that fuel can be tuned to run ok
@jeep13ca5 жыл бұрын
The better mileage is due to the fact that the power density of ethanol is lower than that of gasoline. So to get same amount of heat out of the fuel you need to use more of it.

I have a son who works at the local "corn gas" plant. It's one of the most heavily monitored(by the ATF) facilities around. They make sure no one is running moonshine outta there. He gives me 55 gal barrels full of the used mash though...makes great fertilizer and breaks up the heavy clay soil. Also good bear bait!
