In many countries which have communist goverment, the people in those countries do not have free speech, they have low life standard, bad health, deforestation, air pollution, polluted rivers because waste water and emissions (CO2, CH4,..etc) have been discharged into environment directly from factories, their goverment don't care about that because they take a bribe from the owners of industries. In addition, people in poor countries have bad education, so they throw trash everywhere cause environmental pollution. I think that poor coutries (developing countries or having communist goverment countries) are causing pollution, a part of global warming and changing climate, we need to help them. |

Yes I agree, we should help them, but we insist on burning corn in our fuel tanks because it's renewable and clean energy. Bet that kid would love some cornbread. Breaks my heart. Something is wrong when over 40% of the US corn crop gets burned in fuel tanks (gov mandated ethanol) while children across the globe starve. What is the net effect of this policy? Can someone please put the calculus or "science" to this? This is the common sense, or lack thereof I'm talking about. This is stupid.

It burns as an equivalent octane rating of petroleum of about 113. It is used as a fuel moderator in the same way as tetra-ethyl lead. It raises the effective octane of the fuel, making it burn worse. The higher the octane rating, the worse fuel burns. The compression stroke of an engine heats the air in it. That could ignite the fuel-air mixture too soon and too suddenly if you use too low of an octane fuel. Called 'detonation', the fuel burns suddenly and too soon, rather than at the right time (being ignited by the spark plug) and burning smoothly. You hear detonation as a 'pinging' noise. This is destructive to the engine (particularly the exhaust valves). Any engine, including gasoline engines, produce power by using heat flowing to the cold part of the engine (ambient air, in the case of a car, through the exhaust pipe, radiator, and oil bucket). Ethanol doesn't have the same BTU as gasoline. It burns cooler. It cannot produce as much power. The power it does produce is less efficient as a result. The total number of watts at the shaft is not as high. Given the same weight, friction, and other similar factors, the MPG of pure ethanol is lower than that of gasoline. Personally, I'd like to see us go back to the tetra-ethyl lead. We wouldn't be burning our food supply in our cars this way and lead is already in the soil naturally.

If it ignites at all, it will ignite on time. You are right about losing efficiency because of the cooler burn. You will lose the efficiency in an engine designed for 114 octane fuel as well and for the same reason. The only thing you gain in high compression engines is the ability to stuff more fuel-air mixture into a given cylinder size.

My area, up to 3 years ago, had one gas station with very competitive prices to E10, compared to most sites which charge 20% to 40% more than E10. But even that station now charges too much for E0, to make it economical, despite the 8% to 5% better mpg. Edited on 07-01-2017 09:10 |

As I note often, E10 has 10% ethanol diluting 90% gasoline, so the 3% btu loss of E10 (10% ethanol) is correct. AND as I state often, my last 5 low compression ratio 87 octane gasoline engines, lost 8%, 8%, 7%-8%, 7%, & 5% mpg, as compared to E0. So the inefficiency of E10 ethanol blend when used(NOT burned efficiently) in low octane designed gasoline engines is obvious. Beyond the 10% dilution of ethanol in gasoline are the many cases taken to court, that ethanol has been illegally over-blended by up to 64% AND sold as 10% ethanol blend(E10).

That means nothing. You can even win. I tend to not believe in 'overblending' accusations. Ethanol costs money, and the blending system used is quite accurately controlled. They don't blend it until just before shipping from the regional distribution centers around here (a practice that is common). The reason is that some fuels require a different moderator, such as TEL. Ethanol has the unfortunate tendency to phase separate. That means it 'falls' out of the gasoline ethanol mixture over time (especially at low pressures). This means you essentially have a fuel tank that is E0 gasoline, sitting under a pool of pure ethanol. The 'overblending' might very well be improper measuring the ethanol density of such a tank. Unfortunately, lawyers and judges generally do not understand this. An engine running on E0 will detect the pinging and back off on its settings automatically. The computer is programmed to protect the engine from pinging since it damages the engine. The end result is a lower power engine while burning that fuel. This might actually be the increase of MPG you see. Lower power engines tend to improve the MPG of the average driver.

Certainly you have heard of blender pumps? I have not researched any cases taken to court and don't know if they were involved at all. Problem with blender pumps is they mix from 2 separate tanks at the pump and not at the nozzle. If you were to go get 1 gallon of premium for you mower tank or some other small engine and the customer before you purchased E85, you would get whatever is left in the hose after the blending point and ultimately wind up with an extremely high percentage of ethanol, when your intention was to buy E0. I've heard of other issues with programming and not working properly. |

"AGW denier liar whiner badnight" bluffed: I tend to not believe in 'overblending' accusations..... blending system used is quite accurately controlled. Of course, ya don' believe. Ya got belief block syndrome. Numerous cases were proven to be inadvertent double blending, causing E20 gasoline & sold as E10. Sometimes companies didn't blend enough ethanol at the beginning of the year & made it up by over-blending at the end of the year to meet their quota. Its easy to determine the percent quantity of ethanol in gasoline & companies that over-blend should be learning, but they don't. Another over-blending denier flatly stated no over-blending occurred in his area. In short order, I showed him, his area had court cases of over-blending. Edited on 09-01-2017 18:22 |

There is some software affecting the blending (I myself provided similar software for solid materials handling), but that software is thoroughly tested before it's even put into service. There are risks to property and life with that software. It is tested in the plant, monitoring everything, but not given control of any valves or outputs, for several months. If it makes no mistakes, the outputs are enabled. It is further monitored in detail during live execution for the remainder of the year. After that, checks are made during each shipment for quality. Breakdowns tend to be hardware oriented. Fuel pumps at gas stations go through a similar process using a representative station to demonstrate for the State that station is in the validity of the software. It must accurately indicate the amount pumped without any errors for any grade of fuel it is certified for. Once it passes this test, it can go into gas stations of that State. Bugs that affect things like the TFT display, the card reader, the network, etc. are things that can still occur, as they do not affect the actual measurement of fuel. Things like automatic shutoffs use a simple suction switch, and don't involve software at all.

Into the night...You seem highly informed in the world of ethanol so my initial question is more to myself of 'What am I missing???" 1. There are hundreds, if not a thousand blender pumps at gas stations mostly centered in the midwest...see website. 2. How do you see them as mostly illegal when there are so many of them? 3.. If I only buy a small amount...1/2 gallon to fill a snow blower or something, the amount in the hose is not trivial...it could ruin my carb or worse yet the engine. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1hIUHXW5Vqlbcs1aInFs6pUU7J-0&hl=en&ll=43.67069298284824%2C-92.82970368617629&z=5 Edited on 09-01-2017 21:22 |

The bigger danger to your snowblower carb is sitting with ethanol in it and the resulting rust or fungus from the absorbed water. The best way to deal with that is to not fuel your snowblower until just before use, and drain it when you're done. Today's autofuel has no stabilizers in it anyway. It will help keep the varnish out of your carb as well. This is usually what goes wrong with these simple carbs. If you have trouble starting it, dump the bowl out (it just unbolts typically), put fresh gas and a new spark plug in it, and that will fix practically any problem you get with them. Another option is to use TWO gas cans. One you pump the hose contents into, then fill the one you are going to use for your snowblower. You can use the other in your car or something.
