Can 95% Alcohol Be Used as Fuel for Cars?
1 Answers
95% alcohol can be used as fuel for cars, but it needs to be mixed with gasoline. Below is relevant information about using alcohol in cars: 1. The mixing ratio of gasoline and alcohol: To use alcohol as car fuel, the ratio of alcohol to gasoline should be 1:9, meaning 10% ethanol mixed with 90% gasoline. According to engine bench tests and road tests conducted by the National Automotive Research Center, using ethanol-blended gasoline does not require engine modifications, and the power performance remains largely unchanged. 2. Benefits of using alcohol-blended fuel in cars: High octane number and good anti-knock properties. Ethanol has an oxygen content of up to 34.7%, and blending 10% ethanol into gasoline can achieve an oxygen content of 35%. The use of ethanol gasoline can effectively reduce vehicle exhaust emissions and improve the energy structure. When the alcohol content in gasoline is less than 10%, ethanol gasoline can be used directly without significant modifications to the car engine.
