ETHANOL FUEL

Ethanol is another name for the chemical, ethyl alcohol, the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages. It turns out that ethanol is a pretty good source of fuel for several reasons. When added to gasoline, there are many benefits that ethanol has been proven to provide, such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it’s a sustainable fuel source as it is made from corn or sugarcane and can reduce our country’s reliance on oil and oil-producing nations. Chevrolet has responded to these benefits and increase in consumer demand for ethanol fuel by engineering Flex Fuel models with an Ethanol fuel System specifically designed to run on ethanol. But just like traditional fuel systems, they work best when they are clean. Ethanol Fuel System Treatment is an easy way to protect your ethanol fuel system by helping keep the system clean and the ethanol fuel conditioned.

ETHANOL FUEL SYSTEM TREATMENT: CLEANING

Ethanol Fuel Systems are much like traditional fuel systems but have a few adaptations that optimize its ability to use ethanol as a fuel source. Ethanol Fuel is cleaner but continues to carry a percentage of traditional gasoline. Even the highest grade of Flex Fuel, E85 with 85% ethanol, still has 15% gasoline content. Since traditional gas continues to have detergents, additives, and other unwanted particulates, ethanol fuel systems will eventually get dirty and will need cleaning. Parts like fuel injectors can still get clogged and threaten engine performance and efficiency. One of the best ways to protect your engine’s performance when using ethanol fuel is with a regular Ethanol Fuel System Treatment that keeps your fuel system nice and clean.

Ethanol Fuel System Treatment: Conditioning

Ethanol Fuel is different than traditional gasoline because of its alcohol content. Alcohol is a threat to some plastics, rubbers, and polymers commonly used in fuel systems. Ethanol Fuel System Treatment Service helps offset the damage that ethanol can do to these materials by conditioning and stabilizing the fuel to prevent tarnish, oxidation, and gum formation. By conditioning the ethanol fuel, you can better combat deposit formation and protect your engine from the harmful effects of burning alcohol as fuel.
