Ethanol gasoline was originally vigorously promoted, but now why is it suddenly stopped? To be honest, this is definitely great news for our car owners. Recently, the relevant authorities have asked Shandong Oil Refining Company to completely ban the production and sale of ethanol gasoline, and the output of some ethanol components will be converted to high-definition gasoline sales.
This means that ethanol gasoline is likely to be withdrawn from the market, do you remember that in the past few years, it was still vigorously promoting how good ethanol gasoline is, saying that ethanol gasoline burns more fully and has better anti-knock performance. But in fact, anyone who has added ethanol gasoline knows that that thing will cause a decrease in power, an increase in fuel consumption, and even a tank of fuel will be reduced by tens of kilometers. This is not the most critical, the key is that ethanol gasoline will cause damage to the engine, and when ethanol volatilizes, acetic acid will be produced, which will gradually corrode the engine and reduce the life of the engine.
Another point is that ethanol gasoline has a very short shelf life, remember that rumor? The shelf life of China VIB gasoline is only 30 days! Although it is an exaggeration, there is some truth to it, after all, ethanol gasoline has a high water content, so it cannot be stored for a long time. For those car owners who only run a few hundred kilometers a year, it will definitely expire, after the separation of fuel and water, can your car still run? This time Shandong is indeed at the forefront, and it must be praised.
So why did you vigorously promote it before, but now it has stopped? The relevant departments really did not give any explanation for this situation. I'll just say something that offends people, if ethanol gasoline is really as good as it is said, why has there never been ethanol gasoline in Beijing's gas stations? One more thing, it may be that I think too much, do you say that ethanol will not be used, and methanol will be used in the future?
