<p>Created Basic Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> *A Potential Issue that can occur with [[Gasoline]] that has [[Ethanol]] added<br /> *Such as:<br /> **[[E-10 Gasoline]]<br /> **[[E-85 Gasoline]]<br /> *When dry uo to a critical point the [[Ethanol]] and [[Gasoline]] are a homogeneous mixture<br /> *Once enough water is adsorbed however [[Phase Separation]] will occur<br /> *The Gasoline will float above one or two layers, an Ethanol-Water Solution, and potentially a pure water layer below that<br /> *This can cause much more major issue to upstream pumps and to engines compared to the more moderate risk of corrosion and seal wear that Ethanol Fuel Blends can cause<br /> <br /> =Prevention=<br /> *When doing a [[Fuel Storage Tank Cleaning]] checking that as little water as reasonably possible remains once the cleaning is done<br /> *Sealed Containers to Prevent Water/Humidity Entering<br /> <br /> =Treatment=<br /> *Look into claims of additives to prevent/fix this issue once it occurs, otherwise drain and refill is standard practice<br /> <br /> =Comparison to Other [[Gasoline Additives]] / [[Biofuel Blendstocks]] =<br /> *[[Butanol]] / [[Butanol Fuel]] doesn’t have this issue <br /> *Need to look into if it has the same issues as [[MTBE]] , but [[ETBE]] may work<br /> <br /> =Internal Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =External Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> [[Category: Bio-Petrochemistry]]</div>
