Well the main problem is if the ethanol is not pure. Then you get rust inside
your fuel tank and line...major catastrophy if you ask me.
How come the octane is so low over there, in Australia we have 96 and 98
octane, how come there is such a vast difference? we also pay $1 per litre or
What sort of cars do you have over there, we are getting really shit ones of
late...mainly Holdensor GMH's(sub-branch of GMC)
There have always been too many choices here for me to really keep
track of. This news story on yahoo today gives an idea of the
different manufacturers available

Is biodiesel sensitive to sunlight? My questions are regarding the
use of solar on biodiesel to inhibit bacterial growth.

Ethanol works best in an engine when it contains between 10-25 percent
water. Why should ethanol be used with octane boosters? It already has
an octane above 100.

Practical Use of Ethanol
1. It is unlikely that the ethanol has been watered down. It is absorbing
the water in storage and from your tank. It will take at least 3 to 4 full
tanks full to get the water out.
2. As the ethanol cleans your system, your car is likely to run very poorly.

Hi all.

they necessarily require distilled water?
I might try to run a recycling program for used oil in the city. Many

Thanks to several different posters for putting up these various

information I was able to see that there are both pros and cons that
seem to come from a sort of dosage of ethanol, in terms of

Hi Christian!
I didn't make much biodiesel yet, but I'm a chemist and I can tell you
that
tap water is perfect (in relation quality - expenses) for washing biodiesel.
We are talking here about sub - massive production (not for laboratory
scale) so distilled water is
