I don't know very much of E85 or E100, I know that in Brazil it is
being produced in big quantities as well as in USA. I don't know
where exactly you can get it in Canada.
It's not available here, at least on the west coast. We have a
company that blends a small percentage of ethanol into its gasoline,
but I'm sure it's no better than E 10.
I have a question, for what
type of cars is etahnol appropriate??? Can it be used with any car
at all??
Any car that runs gasoline will be able to use ethanol. Older models
require replacing rubber parts in the fuel system, changes to the
carburetor jets, and some sort of fuel preheating device for cold
weather. Newer, fuel injected vehicles sold in North America may have
ethanol resistant parts from the factory, but cannot run ethanol
blends greater than 50% without changes to the injector pulse width.
This makes ethanol conversion more difficult for the average person.
I know that biodiesel only suits diesel engines with no
modification required, but the ethanol I don't know its
implications. If anybody can explain it to me I will be glad to know.
Unlike biodiesel, the fuel system in a gasoline engine MUST be
modified to run ethanol. It would also be helpful to increase
compression pressure by some means, if ethanol will be the primary fuel.
