Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | No one even suggested ethanol should be used in engines not designed for e10; my question was generated by your statement which implies those engines are considered 'today's' designs by the major engine manufacturers.
Incidentally, a majority of fuel system damages blamed on ethanol turned out to be caused by other additives. In fact, one of those additives actually is a solvent that dissolves rubber. This formulation didn't exist when the engines and fuel systems you refer to were built and also are used by major gasoline brands in non-oxygenated fuel.
Please clarify what you mean by the 'added fuel required to compensate for the ethanol', are you referring to the fuel rails?
Thanks for the clarification. |
