Yes they had to clean the tanks.The old stuf with mtbe i think can not be in with the ethanol mix.A gas attendant told me.

 

Ethanol does burn hotter. It is actually a higher octane fuel. As stated before it would be bad for the engine at higher rpms when you are pushing it.

Cars that are truly designed for the fuel have a better lining in the fuel tank and the higher temps are taken into consideration for the higher octane.

 

well guess i wont be putting that in the G.....or i can cermaic coat the hell of the engine and make it more heat resistant

 

ceramics is the way of the future

 

so that means since klitdeezy sold your ***** on ebay you'll be getting cermiac coated ones instead?

 

I heard that the 10% stuff is the "winter" fuel. And that's what they sold in the winter. I also heard that you burn more of it. Which explained why i got 1-2 MPG less during the winter. If this is the case, you'll pay less but you'll get less miles out of it, so it's about the same. I might be completely wrong, but that seem to be the concensus that ethanol burns more.

^^ yeah you are correct on that.

 

so your really getting cermaic coated *****.....

damn i didnt know they had those....guess im never playing truth or dare with Klit



PS...you used two ^^ which i thought meant the second post

 

^

quit dramin of my chocoloty salty *****



when you say it you gotta say the salty realy fast

 

oooohhh saaaaaallllllllttttttttyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!yyyyyoooo oouuuuuuuu aaaaaaarrrrrrreeeeeeeee GGGGGGaAAAAAAAAAAAyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

j/k....slow enough

 

Talk about a thread hijack.

 

sry...just competing with john....we shoud start our own thread for this & leave the inocent alone....would probably end up having 10 million post in one week

 

Ethanol helps reduce emissions.
More combustion heat in your engine isn't great for the engine, but the greater the heat delta, the more power you'll product. I don't know about any significant heat difference with ethanol.
I'd expect to see that number go up in the future.

 

Of course too much heat will start to mess up your oil, seals, and eventually your metal components.

 

its the old give and take. We do need to somehow find a way to bring the fuel power back to the US though. I just hope they build the engine components strong enough.
