Is China VI gasoline ethanol fuel?
1 Answers
Ethanol gasoline can meet the emission standards of China VI vehicles, but China VI gasoline is not ethanol gasoline. China VI refers to the emission standard, not a type of gasoline. It comprehensively considers the technical conditions of the vehicle and imposes restrictions on tailpipe emission indicators. Advantages of ethanol gasoline: 1. High octane number and good anti-knock performance: It ensures better combustion during driving, providing the engine with sufficient power output. This is also one of the important reasons why many consumers choose ethanol-fueled vehicles. Consumers can select the fuel type based on their vehicle model. 2. Higher oxygen content in ethanol gasoline: The engine can burn more completely. The oxygen content in ethanol is as high as 34.7%. When gasoline contains 10% ethanol, the oxygen content can reach 3.5%. 3. Effectively reduces vehicle emissions: Especially for vehicles that have been in use for a long time, using ethanol gasoline can result in better emissions. E15 ethanol gasoline (with 15% ethanol content in gasoline) reduces hydrocarbon emissions by 16.2% and carbon monoxide emissions by 30% compared to pure unleaded gasoline. 4. Abundant production resources for fuel ethanol: When blending less than 10% ethanol into gasoline, existing vehicle engines do not require major modifications and can directly use ethanol gasoline.
