Is Anhui Gasoline Ethanol Gasoline?
1 Answers
Not all gasoline in Anhui is ethanol gasoline. Related information: 1. The difference between ethanol gasoline and regular gasoline: Ethanol gasoline is gasoline blended with ethanol, with varying proportions in different countries. Ethanol gasoline is distinguished from regular gasoline by the letter E before the octane number. For example, regular 93# gasoline is labeled as E93# for ethanol gasoline. Internationally, E10 is commonly used to denote ethanol gasoline with 10% ethanol content, while E20 and E85 represent ethanol gasoline with 20% and 85% ethanol content, respectively. 2. Disadvantages of ethanol gasoline: Lower heat value than regular gasoline, resulting in reduced power. It is prone to deterioration, with a general shelf life of about 20 days. It easily absorbs moisture, leading to separation where water and ethanol settle at the bottom, causing abnormal engine operation. It also causes swelling of rubber components in fuel lines and affects fuel pump level sensors.
