Ethanol gasoline has little advantage over regular gasoline

Today, China is promoting the use of ethanol gasoline. At present, Tianjin has adopted ethanol gasoline to fully replace the traditional ordinary gasoline. As early as seven years ago, China has begun the promotion of ethanol gasoline, the ethanol gasoline, in the end, what kind of "magic", so that the country so respected the use of it, instead of ordinary gasoline?

First we need to know what gasoline is called ethanol gasoline. Of course, not with ethanol completely replace gasoline, he can be said to be a kind of ethanol blended gasoline. That is, in the ordinary gasoline added alcohol, our use of the approximate alcohol content is in ten percent. Ethanol gasoline using the original fuel grade, only more than one E. Although only added ethanol, but many more benefits.

One, save oil energy

We all know that our cars "drink" gasoline, is from the oil. At present, China's dependence on foreign oil resources is very high.

If our cars "change tastes", the use of ethanol gasoline, then it will reduce the use of a lot of oil, reduce foreign dependence.

Second, to protect the environment

Compared with the traditional ordinary gasoline, ethanol gasoline is undoubtedly more environmentally friendly, is a clean fuel. PM2.5 and hydrocarbons in the tailpipe emissions of cars using it will obviously be reduced to a very small amount.

It is a great help in improving the quality of air and environment. Then, for us humans ourselves, a better environment will remove more of the disadvantages.

However, there are disadvantages of ethanol gasoline. So, Germany is the one that banned the use of ethanol gasoline. The most obvious is that fuel consumption has risen, if the price of gasoline does not fall, fuel consumption rises, it is the equivalent of a price increase

For rubber parts, may accelerate the aging, or the phenomenon of cracking, corrosion, dissolution, and if the content is high, then it will have a very big impact. Ten percent of the content of the impact is still not very big.

For ethanol gasoline also have to pay special attention to water, because it absorbs water will be stratified. So if you add ethanol gasoline, be sure to screw the gas cap on tight to prevent water vapor from entering. Also because ethanol gasoline has such a situation, he has no way to transport by pipeline, there are certain difficulties in storage and transportation, need higher requirements.

There is also the long-term use of ethanol gasoline, because the impurities are cleaned down, the filter element, the injector nozzle will be easy to clog. In addition, ethanol gas will also clog the fuel line, so even if the use of ethanol gasoline instead of conventional gasoline is not a complete replacement, but also appropriate replacement of the use of. Only, the content is low, the gas clogging the fuel line is not too serious.

After reading these pros and cons points, what do you think about ethanol gasoline? Now that ethanol gasoline is still widely used worldwide, and the content is ten percent, you don't need to be too afraid of some of the disadvantages.
