Ethanol in gas causes problems in old and new cars.The Picture to your left is from exhaust when runing my car with ethanol fuel, not lowering co2!
Hello.
- I am writing on the new gas E-10 ethanol being used now that will be mandate for 2010, Its 10% Ethanol, and 90% Gasoline. their are some older cars and new one's that cant run on a 10% Ethanol blend, there is a push for 15% from the Ethanol Industry. -March.2 2009-
- Ethanol came out to lower Co2, and be dependent on oil, however it uses more fuel then gasoline, poof in lower MPG. in turn we are using more fuel and increasing co2 output,
the safety of your car.
- Ethanol is destructive to rubber parts and plastic's, metal's, and fiberglass parts over time, in new cars as well as older cars.
- Ethanol in older cars can dissolve resins that
create a black sludge that
coats and travels through the engine, causing engine stalling and complications, including clogged fuel filters, carburetor jets and injectors, can clog catalytic converters, mufflers with a black soot can be seen on tail pipes.
Thank you.

Nissan does not recommend the use of fuels of which the oxygenate content and the fuel compatibility for your Nissan cannot be readily determined.-If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please take the following precautions as the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle performance problems, and/or fuel system damage.-If any undesirable driveability problems such as engine stalling and difficult hot-starting are experienced after useing oxygenate-blend fuels, Immediately change to a non-blend of regular gasoline.
1986 XJ6 Jaguar, this car also stalls using Ethanol blend gas.
-States in in its hand bood that you can use up to 10% Ethanol mixture, and if you have or notice driveability problems to switch back to regular gasoline,
