Recently, ethanol replaced MTBE for the oxygenation of conventional fuel.

MTBE is now banned in the USA, due to studies that revealed it causes groundwater contamination and cancer.

(Ethanol also is used as a fuel for E85 blends, which has an 85% ethanol content.

The problem with replacing MTBE with etahnol, is that unlike MTBE ethanol readily attracts and absorbs water & moisture into the fuel.

Ethanol also has dramatically changed the shelf life of fuel - Fuel that did not contain ethanol had a shelf life of several years; Unlike ethanol-blend fuels which remain stable for a maximum of 90-100 days.

Test results on ethanol blend fuel shelf life were performed under ideal conditions (70 % humidity, properly sealed fuel system, lack of presence of rain/snow, etc.) - Therefore it is safe to assume that the shelf life and stability of fuels containing ethanol is much shorter than 90-100 days.

The chemical name of ETHANOL is C2H5OH.

Chemically pure ethanol is a colorless liquid which looks like water but has a mild odor.

Gasoline is a refined product of petroleum crude oil, consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons, additives, blending agents, dyes and more. Depending on the blend of gasoline, this mixture contains between 150 - 1000 different compounds.
