Running your vehicle on a mixture of different fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, can cause many problems. Fortunately, there isn’t much to worry about if you accidentally put ethanol gas into your gasoline car when there’s still non-ethanol gas in its tank.
Most modern gasoline engines can burn gas blends that contain up to 15% ethanol without problems. If you drive a flex-fuel vehicle, it can handle up to 83% ethanol-blended gas. And given the benefits of ethanol gas, you might even get more mileage compared to running on non-ethanol-blended gas.
While your car can handle the occasional mistake, avoid mixing ethanol and non-ethanol gas. Stick to the manufacturer-recommended fuel blend that the engine can burn.
What Is Ethanol Gas?
Ethanol-blended gas is gasoline with the addition of ethanol. Also called ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, ethanol is responsible for the intoxicating effect of alcoholic beverages.
Ethanol is a renewable biofuel made from biomass, such as corn grain. It can be used as a fuel by itself, but often serves as an additive for gasoline.
Compared to gasoline, ethanol stores less energy. You’ll need to consume more ethanol to match the energy output produced by burning gasoline.
However, ethanol has a higher octane number than gasoline. It requires higher pressures before it can combust, so it’s less likely to vaporize or burn outside the pressurized confines of the engine’s cylinders.
I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
