Sigmund Fraud Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I'm not a chemical engineer, but isn't the petroleum distillate part of E5/E10 fuel of a lower octane rating than ye olde ethanol-free fuel ? In which case removing the ethanol may not be a good idea... SiC and lisbon_road 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Also, if you extract the ethanol from E10 petrol are you not left with 10% less fuel than you started out with? In which case you might as well just buy E5 super unleaded (which is <5% dearer than 95 octane) and have done with it.

Or buy SUL from Esso which despite the pumps indicating E5 (max 5%) actually has E0 Low Horatio gearbox and wuvvum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fag in one hand, mobile phone 'on call' in the other whilst venting to Atmosphere. i thought it was a windup when I heard 'through a chicken drinker' as I'd never heard of such a device.
