Ethanol in Fuel Causes Fuel System Damage

Reported in May 1/2010 The Roanoke Times, Duncan Adams writes that mis-firing (ie: the unsolicited 'starting and stopping' of engines) could be caused by gasoline generally available where it contains 10% Ethanol.

Latter is a moisture-magnet which results in water entering into the engine's fuel delivery systems. (Sputter-Cough-Die)

This conclusion is shared by many small engine users, as well as the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute.


Damage to Fuel System

Where fuel is stored...for even a short period of time, it can become separated due to accumulation of moisture. Gasoline develops acidic qualities.

Operators must prepare for higher operating costs due to:

  • more frequent servicing of the fuel system, replacing pump diaphragms etc...

  • Down-time and commuting to the repair garage.

    Is Frequent Draining Necessary?
    Maybe Not.

    Solutions suggested include:

  • Adding 'off-the-shelf' fluids (anti-gell, anti-separator);

  • Frequent draining of fuel tanks and so on.

    Attention Boaters:

    Ethanol has been known to breakdown fibreglass fuel tanks.

    Is There Another Solution?......Short answer
    Absolutely!

    Clearly, what is needed is an EPA-listed liquid fuel catalyst that effectively:

  • evaporates moisture;

  • contains anti-fungal, anti-bacteria

    This Catalyst will eliminate above problems because it:

  • prevents fuel from separating;

  • improves combustion that not only increases power, it cuts emissions 60-70%.
