StevehS3 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 #23 these descriptions are carefully written to appear convincing without being fully committed to the benefits. There's a lot of 'can help' and not much 'does' along with * referencing the small print at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Toughie Posted January 24, 2021 Leadership Team Share Posted January 24, 2021 #22 Bloody good description. Thanks for that. Dunno quite what I can do to make use of it, but very informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 You will not make as much power on E10 as you would on straight petrol unless you jetted the car to suit. Petrol contains more energy than alcohol, to run a car on straight alcohol it would need an air fuel ratio of around 5-1. Most modern cars are designed to cope with this however alcohol is very bad for metals and some rubber components. You need to store pure ethanol in stainless steel . It certainly does not like aluminum. I am now running my car on Super unleaded purely because it is not supposed to contain any ethanol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Also ethanol absorbs water which can be a problem on older cars with open fuel systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
